### read configuration
my %Conf = %{ReadConfig($OptConfFile)};
See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.
+This option does not work together with the B<--checkgroups> option as
+all "virtual" groups will not be present in the checkgroups file.
+
=item B<--checkgroups> I<filename>
Restrict output to those newgroups present in a file in checkgroups format
Contrary to B<gatherstats>, I<filename> is not a template, but refers to
a single file in checkgroups format.
+The B<--sums> option will not work together with this option as "virtual"
+groups will not be present in the checkgroups file.
+
=item B<-r>, B<--report> I<default|average|sums>
Choose the report type: I<default>, I<average> or I<sums>
