Options +FollowSymlinks question

Hi:
This probably is an incomplete/stupied question, but what does the line:

Options +FollowSymlinks

inside a .htaccess file do in general? Also, does it matter if it appears below or above the line "RewriteEngine on"? ie:

BELOW:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks

ABOVE:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

Thank you!
