It accepts the following parameters:

• -a or --algo=ALGO → specify the algorithm to use
• -o or --url=URL → URL of mining server
• -O or --userpass=U:P → username:password pair for mining server
• -u or --user=USERNAME → username for mining server
• -p or --pass=PASSWORD → password for mining server
• -x or --proxy=[PROTOCOL://]HOST[:PORT] → connect through a proxy
• -t or --threads=N → number of miner threads (default: number of processors)
• -r or --retries=N → number of times to retry if a network call fails (default: retry indefinitely)
• -R or --retry-pause=N → time to pause between retries, in seconds (default: 30)
• -T or --timeout=N → timeout for long poll and stratum (default: 300 seconds)
• -s or --scantime=N → upper bound on time spent scanning current work when long polling is unavailable, in seconds (default: 5)
• -f or --diff-factor → Divide req. difficulty by this factor (std is 1.0)
• -m or --diff-multiplier Multiply difficulty by this factor (std is 1.0)
• -q or --quiet → disable per-thread hashmeter output
• -D or --debug → enable debug output
• -P or --protocol-dump → verbose dump of protocol-level activities
• -B or --background → run the miner in the background
• -b or --api-bind → IP/Port for the miner API (default: 127.0.0.1:4048)
• -c or --config=FILE → load a JSON-format configuration file
• -V or --version → display version information and exit
• -h or --help → display this help text and exit

It uses the system's central processing unit (CPU) and/or graphical processing unit (GPU) resources to mine cryptocurrency. This behavior makes the system run abnormally slow.
