Compendium of all available command-line switches/options?

Post by dingerjunkie » Fri Oct 23, 2015 3:26 pm

Hello all...noob to forum.

Apologies if this has been covered, but I've had no positive results in searches. I've set up a Windows 7 system to allow testing of command-line switches in advance of configuring a headless Linux system.

I haven't found doc links to anything that breaks down or provides a list of all available command-line switches/options. If it is part of formal documentation, where can I find it. If not, has any forum member put together a master list?

Admins: if this is in the wrong sub-grouping of the forum, please relocate as you see fit...much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for accommodating a new guy. Looking forward to being of use to others on the board.

There's also a "--profile" switch that tells it which profile to use and all of these:

If you can figure out what they do.
