Short	Long	Description
-c <cmd>	--command <cmd>	Can be used to execute Samarium code from the string cmd, directly in the terminal. cmd can be one or more statements separated by semicolons as usual. Note that the last statement of cmd will be printed if it does not end in a semicolon.
-h	--help	Shows the help message
-v	--version	Prints Samarium version

There is also a VSCode syntax highlighting extension for Samarium, which can be found here here. The source code can be found here.
