Andre Zoch fbc5ad9eb0 example: cpp: Enhanced documentation for rfnoc_* examples
- Added program documentation string.
- Marked required options as required().
- Added short option strings for required options.
- Made individual option descriptions more descriptive.
- Harmonized naming of options where appropriate.
  Introduced alias options for renamed options to keep
  backward compatibility.

"\n\n"
"This example program demonstrates how to use the RFNoC C++ API\n"
"to create an RFNoC graph involving an RFNoC Replay block for playback of\n"
"baseband samples through the radio.\n"
"The program loads sample data into the Replay block, configures the RF\n"
"chain, and plays back the data through the radio. Playback can be\n"
"continuous or for a specified number of samples.\n"
"\n"
"Notes:\n"
" - The Replay block is included in most default FPGA images for\n"
" RFNoC-capable USRP devices, so custom FPGA builds are usually not\n"
" required to use this example program.\n"
" - The USRP may round the requested transmit sample rate to the nearest\n"
" supported value. For accurate playback, please ensure that the sample\n"
" rate of the input data in the file matches the USRP sample rate.\n"
" If supported by your USRP device model, you could also change the\n"
" master clock rate to an integer multiple of the desired sample rate\n"
" to achieve precise sampling. For available master clock rates for a\n"
" specific USRP device model, see the UHD manual.\n"
"\n"
"Key features:\n"
"- Loads baseband samples from a binary file and uploads them to the\n"
" RFNoC Replay block for playback through the radio.\n"
"- Dynamically builds and configures an RFNoC graph connecting the Replay\n"
" block to the radio block, with automatic integration of a DUC block if\n"
" present.\n"
"- Supports flexible selection of Replay and radio blocks and channels\n"
" via program options.\n"
"- Allows configuration of key transmission parameters, including\n"
" frequency, sample rate, gain, bandwidth, LO offset, and antenna.\n"
"- Enables continuous or finite playback of samples, as specified by the\n"
" user.\n"
"\n"
"Usage examples:\n"
"1. Replay a signal from a file on default radio and using default replay\n"
" block.\n"
" rfnoc_replay_samples_from_file --args \"addr=192.168.10.2\"\n"
" --freq 2.4e09 --rate 10e06\n"
" --file usrp_samples.dat\n"
"2. Replay a signal from a file explicitly selecting and configuring the\n"
" radio and replay block:\n"
" rfnoc_replay_samples_from_file --args \"addr=192.168.10.2\"\n"
" --freq 2.4e09 --rate 10e06\n"
" --file usrp_samples.dat\n"
" --radio-id 1 --radio-chan 0\n"
" --replay-id 0 --replay-chan 0\n"
"3. Replay an LTE signal at a sampling rate of 30.72MSps with master\n"
" clock rate changed to an integer multiple of the sampling rate:\n"
" rfnoc_replay_samples_from_file --args \"addr=192.168.10.2,master_clock_rate=184.32e6\"\n"
