Note that this internal self-documentation system can describe command line switches as well as XML config file parameters or environment variables, and even some Guile script functions. The '–list' command line switch will give you the list of all available keywords.

— Command-line option: `--copyright`

> Returns the copyright notice for the program.

#### 4.1.6 list

#### 4.1.7 test
