=== Command line arguments ===
<div style="margin: 0 0 1em 2%;">

;Usage:<code>lua50 wowbench.lua [<parameters>] addon1 [addon2 ...]</code>

Parameters:
* <tt>'''-q'''</tt> - Quick mode (use "FrameXML-lite", which loads ~3 times faster)
* <tt>'''-x'''</tt> - Syntax checker mode (load Lua, verify XML syntax, run nothing)
* <tt>'''-d'''</tt> - Enable debug output according to WOWB_DEBUGCAT in config.lua
::WoWBench has a fairly intricate debug output system using the DP() function
* <tt>'''-v'''</tt> - Verbosely list all parsed Lua and XML files during load
* <tt>'''-f'''</tt> - Forced reparse of all files, do not use precompiled copies
::WoWBench will precompile as much as possible into compiled Lua to speed up load times. It is especially noticeable for FrameXML.

=== Loading AddOns ===
<div style="margin: 0 0 1em 2%;">

Easy:

:<code>lua50 wowbench.lua ct_raidassist ace archud</code>


Note that WoWBench currently does not handle dependencies. If an AddOn depends on something else, you have to make sure to load it yourself.

AddOns will be loaded from the WoW directory that you specified in <tt>config.lua</tt>.
