 ## Install

 ## Use
 
-Toggle with `!` prefix, get by excluding `=` and set by including `=`. Mix and match arguments.
+Commands that begin with `!` will toggle a parameter, commands that contain `=` will set a parameter, all other commands will get a value.
 
 You may pass the following optional flags:
 
--   -v: (-verbose) to toggle console output.
+- -h: Print the help message
--   -i: (-interactive) to toggle interactive mode.
+- -i: Enable interactive mode
--   -k: (-kind) to set the kind of Voicemeeter. Defaults to banana.
+- -k: The kind of Voicemeeter GUI to launch, defaults to Banana
--   -d: (-delay) to set a delay on the getters. Defaults to 20ms.
+- -l: Log level (0 up to 6), defaults to 3, Warn Level
+- -d: Set the delay between commands, defaults to 20ms
+- -v: Enable extra console output (toggle and set messages).
 
 for example:
 
-`vm-cli.exe -v -k=potato -d=25 strip[0].mute=0 strip[0].mute !strip[0].mute strip[0].mute bus[0].gain=-8.8 command.lock=1`
+`vm-cli.exe -v -l=4 -k=potato strip[0].mute=0 strip[0].mute !strip[0].mute strip[0].mute bus[0].gain=-8.8 command.lock=1`
 
 Expected output:
 
 ```
-Running command strip[0].mute=0

-Value of strip[0].mute is: 0
+Setting strip[0].mute=0

+Setting bus[0].gain=-8.8
-Running command command.lock=1
