Description

The online documentation for the command line flags should be filled in. More complete documentation for many of the flags can be found linked from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6ds95cz0.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6s2x2bzy.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w95cx9k1.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c03639ab.aspx . See #6694 for the initial framework for that documentation.
