## Using these options in API calls

Most of these options can also be used when making calls to the [API](/doc/dev/api.md).

Generally, parameters for the API are named corresponding to the names of the command line parameters, with dashes (`-`) converted to underscores (`_`). For example, the command line option `--hiera-config` is passed to the API as the symbol `:hiera_config`.

Each of the options above has a link to the source file where it is declared, should you wish to review the specific parameter names and data structures that are being set.
