    • -p, --pass=PASSWORD -> password for mining server
    • -t, --threads=N -> number of miner threads
    • -v, --av=N -> algorithm variation, 0 auto select
    • -k, --keepalive -> send keepalived for prevent timeout (need pool support)
    • -r, --retries=N -> number of times to retry before switch to backup server (default: 5)
    • -R, --retry-pause=N -> time to pause between retries (default: 5)
    • --cpu-affinity -> set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1
    • --cpu-priority -> set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
    • --no-huge-pages -> disable huge pages support
    • --no-color -> disable colored output
