Hello,
The -m flag searches the sys.path for the named module and executes its contents as the __main__ module. Here’s a link to the official documentation that goes into more details about the -m flag:

The -c flag executes the Python code in command. A command can be one or more statements separated by newlines, with significant leading whitespace as in normal module code. Here’s a link to the official documentation:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
