Command-line parameters
From RRU Knowledge Base
Revision as of 04:37, 2 December 2017 by Jessietail (talk | contribs)
Command-line parameters, also called arguments are options for the initial execution of software. These options are commonly supplied in a command-line window or shortcut, and always come after the executable's file name. Available parameters, syntax, and effect all depend on the game or software they are used with. A common use for these options is for running games in debug mode or different resolutions.
For further detail, see the Wikipedia article.
To do: Flesh out. Would it be better to name this Command-line arguments?
Example:
"C:\Program Files\OldGame\Game.exe" -firstoption -secondoption
"C:\Program Files\NewGame\Game.exe" /FIRSTOPTION /SECONDOPTION
