There is no such code.  If you try to use -v or -h, you will get an
`invalid option' error.

You may be confused by the fact that cxxfilt.c happens to represent
the long option --help using the code 'h', and similarly represents
--version using the code 'v'.  There is nothing wrong with that,
though.
