Each act subcommand takes the following standard flags on the command line.

Controlling output

-no-warnings: disables the printing of warnings generated by act. (Errors, as well as warnings generated by external programs, remain enabled.)
-verbose: generally increases the verbosity of act's output (without this, act prefers to be fairly quiet when everything is going OK). Different commands interpret this in different ways.

Overriding defaults

-config FILE: tells act to read its configuration from FILE. (It defaults to act.conf.)

Miscellaneous

-help: prints (autogenerated) command-line help.
