Command line options

Options should be preceded with dash (-) or double dash (--) sign. Option parameters follow equation sign (=), if any, and should be double quoted in case they contain spaces. You can shorten option names down to first clear differetiable notation. F.e. you can shorten --start and --stop options down to -sta -sto accordingly. There are two types of options: positional and position independed. Position independed options can be anywhere in command line string and they will be interpreted before any other positional options. Positional options interpreted and executed in order of their appearance so you can easily do things in batch. F.e. you can install and start gatekeeper service at once by specifying --install --start.
