# Command Line Arguments
```
usage: joshuto [options] [path]
```
- `[path]`: tells joshuto to start in a specific directory
Joshuto supports the following options from the command line:
- `-v` `--version`: outputs version of joshuto
- `-h` `--help`: shows help menu
- `--change-directory`: sets the quit behavior to change directory instead of
noop when closing the last tab
- Requires shell script function to work, see [here](https://github.com/kamiyaa/joshuto/blob/main/docs/configuration/keymap.toml.md#quit-quit-joshuto)
- `--output-file <output-file>`: tells joshuto to output data to `<output-file>`.
- This is usually used so programs can know how to behave after joshuto exits.
- For example, cd into joshuto's current directory on quit
