It's actually quite simple: 'options' are command line options that you can supply, I don't know PHP but for Ruby it might be `-p` for example. Header and Footer are just glued to the code by newlines.

Oh command line options. Then what are 'arguments', a little further below?

Options are what get passed to the interpreter. Arguments get passed to the program. How the interpreter gets called for most languages roughly goes like:

   interpreter options input.tio arguments
Where input.tio is the file containing the code.
