+                      given.
+
+       -d --directive <directive> Takes a \'name::arg1::arg2...::argN\' directive
+                      value as comming from standard input in interactive mode.
+
+       -h --help      Prints this page to standard error.

+
+       Modifiers (specify any combination of these):
+
+          --platform  <name-ver>  Overrides the detection of your platform\'s
+                      name and version, e.g. redhat-6.2. Use with care. See the
+                      documentation for a full list of supported platforms.
+
+          --disable-immediate  With --set, prevents the configurator from
+                      running any commands that make immediate changes to
+                      the system configuration. Use with --prefix to make a
+                      dry run that won\'t affect your configuration.
+
+                      With --get, suppresses running of non-vital external
+                      programs that might take a long time to finish.
+
+       -p --prefix <location>  Specifies a directory prefix where the
+                      configuration is looked for or stored. When storing
+                      (with --set), directories and files may be created.
+
+          --progress  Prints machine-readable progress information to standard
+                      output, before any XML, consisting of three-digit
+                      percentages always starting with \'0\'.
+
+          --report    Prints machine-readable diagnostic messages to standard
+                      output, before any XML. Each message has a unique
+                      three-digit ID. The report ends in a blank line.
+
+       -v --verbose   Prints human-readable diagnostic messages to standard
+                      error.
+end_of_usage_generic;
+
+  $usage{"get"} =<< "end_of_usage_generic;";
+       -g --get       Prints the current configuration to standard output, as
+                      a standalone XML document. The configuration is read from
+                      the host\'s system config files.
+
+end_of_usage_generic;
+  $usage{"set"} =<< "end_of_usage_generic;";
+       -s --set       Updates the current configuration from a standalone XML
+                      document read from standard input. The format is the same 
+                      as for the document generated with --get.
+
+end_of_usage_generic;
+  $usage{"filter"} =<< "end_of_usage_generic;";

+# and as many spacing as possible.
+
+# The concept of keyword (kw) here is a key, normaly in its own line, whose
+# boolean representation is its own existence.
+
+# A $re is a regular expression. In most functions here, regular expressions
+# are converted to simple separators, by using gst_replace_regexp_to_separator.
+# This makes it easier to convert a parse table into a replace table.
+
+# Every final replacing function to be used by a table must handle one key
+# at a time, but may replace several values from there.
+#
+# Return 0 for success, and -1 for failure.
+#
+# Most of these functions have a parsing counterpart. The convention is
+# that parse becomes replace and split becomes join:
+# gst_parse_split_first_str -> gst_replace_join_first_str
+
+# Additional abstraction: replace table entries can have
+# arrays inside. The replace proc will be ran with every
+# combination that the arrays provide. Ex:
+# ["user", \&gst_replace_foo, [0, 1], [2, 3] ] will replace
+# using all possibilities in the combinatory of [0, 1]x[2, 3].
