## kvlite Utility Command Line Parameter Options

This section describes the command line options that you can use with the `kvlite` utility.

Note that you can only specify these options the first time KV Lite is started. Most of the parameter values specified here are recorded in the KVHOME directory, and will be used when you restart the KVLite process regardless of what you provide as command line options. If you want to change your initial values, either delete your KVHOME directory before starting KV Lite again, or specify the `-root` option (with a different KVHOME location than you initially used) when you provide the new values.

- `-admin <port>`

  If this option is specified, the administration user interface is started. The port identified here is the port you use to connect to the UI.

- `-help`

  Print a brief usage message, and exit.

- `-host <hostname>`

  Identifies the name of the host on which KVLite is running. Use this option ONLY if you are creating a new store.

  If you want to access this instance of KVLite from remote machines, supply the local host's real hostname. Otherwise, specify `localhost` for this option.

- `-logging`

  Turns on Java application logging. The log files are placed in the examples directory in your Oracle NoSQL Database distribution.

- `-port <port>`

  Identifies the port on which KVLite is listening for client connections. Use this option ONLY if you are creating a new store.

- `-root <path>`

  Identifies the path to the Oracle NoSQL Database home directory. This is the location where the store's database files are contained. The directory identified here must exist. If the appropriate database files do not exist at the location identified by the option, they are created for you.

- `-store <storename>`

  Identifies the name of a new store. Use this option ONLY if you are creating a new store.
