Although that is what they do, it's not the case that they are intended 
to be specific to Ghostscript internals.

Most command line options, including the ones processed by Ghostscript,

A number of the example/utility PostScript programs supplied with 
Ghostscript make use of parameters passed to the program on the command 
line.
