  General Options:
    -h, --help                           Print this help text and exit
    --version                            Print program version and exit
    -U, --update                         Update this program to latest version. Make sure that you have sufficient permissions (run with sudo if needed)
    -i, --ignore-errors                  Continue on download errors, for example to skip unavailable videos in a playlist
    --abort-on-error                     Abort downloading of further videos (in the playlist or the command line) if an error occurs
    --dump-user-agent                    Display the current browser identification
    --list-extractors                    List all supported extractors
    --extractor-descriptions             Output descriptions of all supported extractors
    --force-generic-extractor            Force extraction to use the generic extractor
    --default-search PREFIX              Use this prefix for unqualified URLs. For example "gvsearch2:" downloads two videos from google videos for youtube-dl "large apple".
                                         Use the value "auto" to let youtube-dl guess ("auto_warning" to emit a warning when guessing). "error" just throws an error. The
                                         default value "fixup_error" repairs broken URLs, but emits an error if this is not possible instead of searching.

                                         in ~/.config/youtube-dl/config (%APPDATA%/youtube-dl/config.txt on Windows)
    --config-location PATH               Location of the configuration file; either the path to the config or its containing directory.
    --flat-playlist                      Do not extract the videos of a playlist, only list them.
    --mark-watched                       Mark videos watched (YouTube only)
    --no-mark-watched                    Do not mark videos watched (YouTube only)

                                         multiple matches. Values which are not known are excluded unless you put a question mark (?) after the operator. For example, to only
