Argument | Meaning
-------------------|--------------------
`-u`, `--update` | Updates the offline cache of pages. MUST be implemented if cache is supported.
`-v`, `--version` | Shows the current version of the client, and the version of this specification that it implements.
`-l`, `--list` | Lists all the pages in the current platform to the standard output. If the special platform `all` is specified a list of all pages in all platforms MUST be displayed.
`-p`, `--platform` | Specifies the platform that should be used for resolving page names. If specified, the named platform MUST be checked first instead of the host platform as described below.
`-u`, `--update` | Updates the offline cache of pages. MUST be implemented if cache is supported.
Clients MAY NOT implement the long form of an argument (`--update`, `--version`, `--list`, `--platform`).
Additional decoration MAY be printed if the standard output is a [TTY](http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/tty/index.php). If not, then the output MUST not contain any additional decorations. For example a page list MUST be formatted with 1 page name per line (to enable easy manipulation using standard CLI tools such as `grep` etc.).
