Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False

value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
