Supported options:

General options

  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.
  -v, --version         Show product version and exit.
  -f, --file file ...   Load one or multiple config file(s).
                        Config files must be in JSON format and can contain all
                        command line arguments as parameters. If both, files
                        and command line arguments are given, the command line
                        arguments take precedence over the file parameters. If
                        multiple files are specified, the last files take
                        precedence over the first files. This allows to define
                        a base config and override individual parameters.
