SAS Command Line Reference (aka System Options)

Where is a link to SAS Command Line Reference for Windows (fka DOS)?

Help me google this, please. I've tried but I have not succeeded. I know this existed somewhere, somehow, but its not as easy as the way I remember it looking this up before.

Are you looking for the SAS Companion for Windows? https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostwin/69955/HTML/default/viewer.htm#titlepage.htm

Or are you looking for all of the system options?

Both of those are not what I'm looking for. Thanks -- its so weird. There was a way to find all command line options "-sysin", "-config", etc. Or maybe I'm confusing SAS with almost every other Windows and Unix executable with command line options.

So, then they are called "system options". Now I know. Explains why I wasn't finding them. Thanks @JerryV and @alexal
