--backtrace=[OUT] Enable full backtrace. OUT can be stderr (default) or stdout.
--comments Show commented tasks only
--job-stats [LEVEL] Display job statistics. LEVEL=history displays a complete job list
--rules Trace the rules resolution.
--suppress-backtrace PATTERN Suppress backtrace lines matching regexp PATTERN. Ignored if --trace is on.
-A, --all Show all tasks, even uncommented ones (in combination with -T or -D)
-B, --build-all Build all prerequisites, including those which are up-to-date.
-C, --directory [DIRECTORY] Change to DIRECTORY before doing anything.
-D, --describe [PATTERN] Describe the tasks (matching optional PATTERN), then exit.
-e, --execute CODE Execute some Ruby code and exit.
-E, --execute-continue CODE Execute some Ruby code, then continue with normal task processing.
-f, --rakefile [FILENAME] Use FILENAME as the rakefile to search for.
-G, --no-system, --nosystem Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore system wide rakefiles.
-g, --system Using system wide (global) rakefiles (usually '~/.rake/*.rake').
-I, --libdir LIBDIR Include LIBDIR in the search path for required modules.
