    A carriage return indicates no change from the default; but this like -ksp_monitor <stdout>  the default is actually not stdout the default
    is to do nothing so to get it to use stdout you need to type stdout. This is kind of bug?

-  currentvalue - the current value; caller is responsible for setting this value correctly. Normally this is done with either
