-a	add	Add all identifiers which were not in the identifier file before. If parameter c is not set the first found notation will be added, otherwise the last one
-i	identifier list	File path to the identifier file. If it doesn't exist, it will be created.
-s	source	A single source file or a source directory of files which recursively will be scanned for identifiers.
-m	mask	Optional file mask like \".pas;.cs\", if not specified, all files are processed
-/	C++ comments	Skip C++ comments instead of Delphi comments
