Hello,
The
-mflag searches thesys.pathfor 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-mflag:https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m
The
-cflag executes the Python code incommand. Acommandcan 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:https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-c
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
