If you run g-stl without any arguments you will see the possible
parameters that can be used and syntax of using the command as
following:

Usage: g-obj [-m][-v][-i][-u][-xX lvl][-a abs_tess_tol][-r
rel_tess_tol][-n norm_tess_tol][-P #_of_CPUs]
[-e error_file_name ][-D dist_calc_tol][-o output_file_name ]
brlcad_db.g object(s)

Read about parameters at: http://manned.org/g-obj/28d26f1e

Yes, these converters can be used as stand alone tools and you would
need to compile the specific converter for this purpose. Check the
source code of g-obj at src/conv/g-obj.c.
