-case dirβ tell it which case directory to use instead of whatever directory you're currently sitting in (the cwd). fr fr, sometimes you just don't wanna be in there π«Ά-decomposeParDict fileβ use the file you specify for thedecomposePardictionary π-parallelβ run in parallel.

(multiple times, yes queen) π-roots (dir1 .. dirN)β slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option] π-doc-sourceβ displays the source code in your browser. reading the source is self-care ngl π-help-manβ displays the full help in manpage format and exits π§-help-notesβ displays the help notes (the description) and exits β¨
