Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-errlog(-el)	boolean
toggles whether or not an error log of failed API method calls will be created. When set to true, a file called "OpenMayaErrorLog" will be created in Maya's current working directory. Each time an API method fails, a detailed description of the error will be written to the file along with a mini-stack trace that indicates the routine that called the failing method. Defaults to false(off).
-lazyLoad(-lz)	boolean
toggles whether or not plugins will be loaded with the RTLD_NOW flag or the RTLD_LAZY flag of dlopen(3C). If set to true, RTLD_LAZY will be used. In this mode references to functions that cannot be resolved at load time will not be considered an error. However, if one of these symbols is actually dereferenced by the plug-in at run time, Maya will crash. Defaults to false(off).
-oldPluginWarning(-ow)	boolean
toggles whether or not loadPlugin will generate a warning when plug-ins are loaded that were compiled against an older, and possibly incompatible Maya release. Defaults to true(on).

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.
