Show 14 options
"title"Specifies the title to display in the Command Prompt window title bar.
/d <path>Specifies the startup directory.
/iPasses the Cmd.exe startup environment to the new Command Prompt window. If /i isn't specified, the current environment is used.
{/min | /max}Specifies to minimize (/min) or maximize (/max) the new Command Prompt window.
{/separate | /shared}Starts 16-bit programs in a separate memory space (/separate) or shared memory space (/shared). These options aren't supported on 64-bit platforms.
{/low | /normal | /high | /realtime | /abovenormal | /belownormal}Starts an application in the specified priority class.
/node <NUMA node>Leverages memory locality on NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Architecture) nodes as a decimal integer. Two processes that communicate with each other through shared memory on the preferred NUMA node can minimize memory latencies while allocating memory from the same NUMA node when possible. They're free to run on processors outside the specified node.
/affinity <hexaffinity>Applies the specified processor affinity mask (expressed as a hexadecimal number) to the new application. Two programs are able to run on specific processor cores within the same NUMA node. This number can be changed to the processor-specific supported amount without having to change the affinity mask.
/waitStarts an application and waits for it to end.
/bStarts an application without opening a new Command Prompt window. CTRL+C handling is ignored unless the application enables CTRL+C processing. Use CTRL+BREAK to interrupt the application.
/machine <x86amd64 arm arm64> Specifies the machine architecture of the application process.
[<command> [<parameter>... ] | <program> [<parameter>... ]]Specifies the command or program to start.
<parameter>Specifies parameters to pass to either the command or the program.
/?Displays help at the command prompt.
