You are using it correctly - but I think you've omitted a `=` from the 
end of the option specification:

Each option specification can end with a `=`.  This indicates that
the option expects an argument.  For example, with the grammar
`-o,--output=`, the option can be specified like `-o file`, `-ofile`,
`--output file`, or `--output=file`.

[ FWIW there is a 'typo' in the docs there the grammer being exhibited 
should be `o,output=` I think! ]

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
