# A Image Tool Command-Line Option Reference

This appendix provides alphabetically sorted reference information about the command-line options that the Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition Image Tool supports.

You can type the command-line options in short form (if available) or in long form, as shown in the following examples:

- Short form: `java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar` `-h`

- Long form: `java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar` `--help`

Note:

When specifying local directory paths, local file names, and Java arguments containing spaces, enclose the values in double quotation marks.

For example, to create a configuration file named `config 1.xml` by using the `-c` option, treat the space in the file name as follows:

    java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar -c "config 1.xml"

Documentation Conventions for Command-Line Syntax

The following conventions are used in this document to show the syntax for command-line options:
