    Description

    HasOption returns True if the specified option was given on the command line. Either the short option character C or the long option S may be used. Note that both options (requiring a value) and switches can be specified.

    Depending on the value of the CaseSensitiveOptions property, the search is performed case sensitive or case insensitive.

    Options are identified as command-line parameters which start with OptionChar (by default the dash ('-') character).
