### Help and Administrative Options

This section provides examples of how to retrieve general and help information from the command-line tools.

For example, to obtain help information from a tool that has some compatibility options with Visual C++, type the following command:

mwccsym2 -?

To get more specific information from the same tool, type the following command:

mwccsym2 -help [argument,...]

where argument is a valid keyword such as usage, all, or this. For example, with the Windows® x86 C/C++ compiler, typing:

mwccsym2 -help usage

or

mwccsym2 -help opt=help

provides information about the help options available with the mwccsym2 x86 tool.
