This commit standardizes terminology across various GCC documentation files by consistently spelling “command-line option” with a hyphen. Additionally, it unifies the usage of terms, preferring “option” over “flag” or “switch” to refer to command-line arguments. These changes improve the readability and consistency of the documentation, making it easier for users to understand and navigate the compiler’s features and settings.
