Notes on the Command line rules

1. Parameters with default value are not required and can be omitted.

2. Rules for input and output file names:

• parameter /in:<file path> in the command line overwrites the value of the tag <input> in the configuration file;
• parameter /out:<file path> in the command line overwrites the value of the tag <output> in the configuration file;
• if <output> tag is missing (or not specified), output file names are formed from input file names plus suffix (if the latter is specified);
• if output file for a tag/section is not specified, the output file name for the tag/section is formed from the name specified in the <output/> tag plus suffix depeding on the name of the tag/section, e.g. ".message.csv", ".header.csv", etc.
