    input (stdin): dimension, number of points, point coordinates
    comments start with a non-numeric character

options (qdelaun.htm):
    Qu   - furthest-site Delaunay triangulation
    Qt   - triangulated output
    QJ   - joggled input instead of merged facets
    Tv   - verify result: structure, convexity, and in-circle test
    .    - concise list of all options
    -    - one-line description of each option
    -?   - this message
    -V   - version

output options (subset):
    s    - summary of results (default)
    i    - vertices incident to each Delaunay region
    Fx   - extreme points (vertices of the convex hull)
    G    - Geomview output (2-d and 3-d points lifted to a paraboloid)
    m    - Mathematica output (2-d inputs lifted to a paraboloid)
    o    - OFF format (shows the points lifted to a paraboloid)
    QVn  - print Delaunay regions that include point n, -n if not
    TI file - input file, may be enclosed in single quotes
