To list out all the available options just use the option ‘–help’ as given below. It would list out the possible list of options.

As you can see this option starts the client in verbose mode which enables us to know the details of the form in perspective of a developer like field name. It has improved very much in version 6. Where it shows much more details regarding a field like domain, model name, function name for function field etc.
