Option format

The required or frequently specified options are indicated in bold. In the table below, each number corresponds to the number assigned to each option, which is explained in 18.4.2 Options.

When separating an option's flag arguments with the comma, do not specify spaces before or after the comma. If a space is specified, the command ignores whatever is specified following the space.
