Its on the todo list.

There is "gnuchess --help". Post and Hashsize can be set via commandline.

There is a documentation file in the tar ball, hopefully the packager
kept this to hand (/usr/share/doc ?).

No rc file yet, I have a patch to try but it needs some thought.

Xboard will do this (and can enable analysis mode).
SCID will pass options for analysis.

I'd not thought people would want analysis from a raw command line, I
wrote myself a short perl script to analyse PGN files. It should be
trivial to add "analyze" as a command line option.
