No. The long options are way better to read in master.cf !

avpcheck  unix  -       n       n       -       10      pipe
     user=avpc argv=/var/spool/avp/avpcheck
     --bounce
     --syslog
     --alertrcpt
     -d /var/spool/avp/./tst -s /var/spool/avp/ctl/AvpCtl
     -S:1025 -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}
