       function is called then the Parse() function will restart from the

       The specification string consists of case significant letters for each
       option. If the letter is followed by a '-' character then a long name
       version of the option is present. This is terminated either by a '.' or
       a ':' character. If the single letter or long name is followed by the
       ':' character then the option has may have an associated string. This
       string must be within the argument or in the next argument. If a single
       letter option is followed by a ';' character, then the option may have
       an associated string but this MUST follow the letter immediately, if
       it is present at all.

       For example, "ab:c" allows for "-a -b arg -barg -c" and
       "a-an-arg.b-option:c;" allows for "-a --an-arg --option arg -c -copt".
