In addition to Ian's comments --
The file loaders that accept optional arguments all have (or should
have) man pages describing them. Have a look at 'apropos
pfdLoadFile' which should list them.
For example FLT and PFB,
pfdLoadFile_flt (3) - load an OpenFlight database into Performer
pfdLoadFile_pfb [...] - Utilities for loading and storing pfb
files in Performer applications.
There are also many variants (pfdConverterAttr_xxx, etc).
