I'm not sure about 0.4.1 but pre10 gives you an example with 'LCDd --help'

Close. Correct would be "LCDd -d MtxOrb '-t lkd'"

Yep these two are wrong. If youl like long options then
 LCDd -d MtxOrb '--type lkd'
should do the trick.

Yes it's trivial if you remind you that two option after -d are allowed
(so spaces are only allowed within a quoted string which you need if you
like to pass any options to the driver).
