The arguments for each application are listed with the command
descriptions elsewhere in this document, but some of them are common
to most or all of the commands:
-
-h[elp]
- Prints a usage message and exits.
-
-v[erbose]
- May cause more information about progress to be written as
the command runs.
-
-disk
- Encourages the command to use temporary files on disk for caching
large amounts of data rather than doing it in memory.
This is a good flag to try if you are getting
OutOfMemoryError
s.
This flag is in most cases equivalent to specifying the system
property -Dstartable.storage=disk
.
-
-debug
- Causes any error messages, which are usually made brief, to
be accompanied by a stack trace. If you are reporting a bug
(or debugging the code yourself), then you should use this flag
to get the most information about what has gone wrong.
