# Argument Types

The following qualifiers are used in the internal command templates to indicate the type of each argument. Remember that you **never** type the qualifiers when using arguments - they are merely a clue as to the argument type.

| Qualifier | Type     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| --------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| /S        | Switch   | Indicates a switch argument (a Boolean option that can either be on or off).                                                                                                                                                                               |
| /K        | Keyword  | Indicates a value argument (a value must be provided following the argument keyword).                                                                                                                                                                      |
| /O        | Optional | Indicates an optional argument (can be used either by itself as a switch, or with a following value).                                                                                                                                                      |
| /N        | Numeric  | The value of the argument must be a number.                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| /M        | Multiple | The argument can accept multiple values (e.g. a list of files).                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| /R        | Raw      | <p>The argument accepts a "raw" value. For these arguments, the rest of the command line following the argument name is taken as the value.<br>Arguments of this type are the only ones that do not require quotes around values which contain spaces.</p> |
