lsquares_estimates syntax



the manual has the syntax:

lsquares_estimates(D,x,e,a), and the extra options form:
lsquares_estimates(D,x,e,a,  initial = L,  tol  = t ).

the second example, which uses two options is:

(%i3) lsquares_estimates (
  M, [x,y], y=a*x^b+c, [a,b,c], initial=[3,3,3], iprint=[-1,0]);

what is the meaning of the last argument involving "iprint"?

 is this somehow related to "tol"  and if so how?

the code lbfgs.lisp seems to treat iprint as an integer used for printouts?
