+There are a few extended arguments that are interpreted by the

+These extended arguments set the wave dump format to lxt, possibly with
+format optimizations. The \fB-lxt-space\fP flag sets the output
+format to lxt with full compression enabled. The resulting files are
+quite small. The \fB-lxt-speed\fP chooses the lxt compression mode
+that leads to the best execution time and the fastest read time, at
+the expense of some file size.
