Question for the programmers out there.

Is there a standard for command-line parameters passed to Linux
programs?

Some things seem common like "-o <filename>" specifying an output
filename or "-f" meaning force, but are these just common practise or is
there an actual standard available somewhere?

Thanks,
IanS
