Using multiple options

Some commands accept multiple options. These can be grouped together after a single hyphen:

     command -abc argument

A small number of commands require each option to be given separately. Check the command synopsis for a command to see how a command requires its options to be given.

An option that takes an argument, such as the name of a printer or a filename is given separately.
