Command Line Options

Unread post by Kruppt » 2018-10-28, 15:21

I thought I saw a thread on this forum that showed all the CLI options (linux not win)
and even a way to show them from a term or from the browser but I just can't find the post.
Must be using the wrong terminology in the search.
Can someone give me a clue?
