Full list of KING options and paramenters

Question

[gaelgarcia05]

I'm trying to understand all the options and parameters that KING supports, but I can't find a complete list of this anywhere.

The manual / tutorial is the closest thing I have, but even then, it's pretty scattered and I suspect not all options are mentioned.

Does anyone know where is a good place to obtain this list?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

It turns out that once you can actually get KING running, one of the things it returns is a consolidated list of its options:

The following parameters are in effect:
