Optional parameters list

The following list can be viewed via --help

FLAG	Supported script	Use	Defaults	Note
-c	ALL	Specify configuration file	None	Please refer to the parameter introduction for configuration file usage
-o	ALL	Set the parameter in the configuration file	None	Configuration using -o has higher priority than the configuration file selected with -c. E.g: -o Global.use_gpu=false
