Language binding options:

--header

--prefix prefix

--init name

Set the name of the init function for C host/core bindings.

--namespace namespace

C++ client language binding, sets the namespace to use for the code. The namespace ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between different programs/libraries which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your application/library.
