General rules for using options

cqtdeployer -option1 value1 -option2 list, of, values ​​flag1 flag2 flag3

• All options must begin with a '-' sign.
• After specifying the desired option, you must specify the value.
• Some options support enumerations (arrays of values). When initializing such options, specify the list of values through ',' without prabels. If you use any programming language and call the cqtdeployer process, then the array of values must be passed as 1 parameter.
• Some options support redistributions with the ability to select the target for which the flag will be applied. Target and values are separated using the ';' sign. Example -libOut target1;value1,target2;value2,defaultValue.
• To include a flag, simply include the flag name in the list of options.

Description of values in the table

• -binDir [params] - option without array support.
• -bin [params,list] - option with support for arrays. The delimiter used is ','.
• -libOut [package;path,path] - parameter with support for selecting the package for which the flag value is set. As a separator, use ';'. Please note that the rule described above is used to enumerate parameter values. The last parameter does not have a package value, this means that this value will be set for all non-configured packages by default.
• clear - boolean option
