Description: An option is a parameter that modifies the behavior of a command in operating systems and programming languages. These options allow users to customize the execution of commands, adjusting their operation according to the specific needs of the user or the environment. Options can be mandatory or optional and are usually preceded by a single dash (-) or double dashes (–), depending on the system or language. For example, in command line interfaces, commands can be modified with options like ‘-l’ to display details in long format or ‘-a’ to include hidden files. Options are fundamental for the flexibility and functionality of commands, allowing users to perform complex tasks more efficiently and tailored to their requirements.
