              Sets sourcemap base path, defaults to current working directory.

       --source-map-less-inline puts the less files into the map instead of referencing them

       -------------------------- Deprecated ----------------

       -O0, -O1, -O2
              Set the parser's optimization level. The lower the number, the less nodes it will  create  in  the
              tree. This could matter for debugging, or if you want to access the individual nodes in the tree.

       --line-numbers=TYPE
              Outputs  filename  and  line  numbers.  TYPE can be either 'comments', which will output the debug
              info within comments, 'mediaquery' that will output the information  within  a  fake  media  query
              which is compatible with the SASS format, and 'all' which will do both.

       --verbose
              Be verbose.
