Brief explanation of flags

Flag
Description
file[ file2 [file3 ...]] The list of log files on which Chameleon should operate. At least one file must be specified.
--chamfile=filename.cham Required. Specifies a .cham file that denotes which plug-ins are to be run. If datafiles are specified in the .cham file they will be ignored.
--hidebanner or -b Suppresses the version banner.
--quiet or -q Surpresses all status messages except errors.
--version or -v Displays the version banner for the command line client and associated libraries.
--help, -h, or -? Displays command line specific help.

Chameleon-console supports Linux style flag combinations (of which the only valid combination is hide banner and quiet) as well as the Windows parameter specifier, '/'. Long parameters are not supported by the Windows '/' specifier.
