In addition to the following list of command-line options that are used for reprocessing archives, piarchss supports another option, -coerceDigitalSets, which forces the record headers of all archive records to use the current digital state set. For more information on its use and syntax requirements, see Coerce digital state sets.
Subsequent sections discuss how you might use some of the options. To see all available options, type piarchss -?.
