    longDescription = ''
      expand-response-params is a tool that allows for obtaining a full list of all
      arguments passed in a given compiler command line including those passed via
      so-called response files. The nixpkgs wrapper scripts for bintools and C
      compilers use it for processing compiler flags. As it is developed in
      conjunction with the nixpkgs wrapper scripts, it should be considered as
      unstable and subject to change.
