        Options can be combined with all the actions mentioned above.
        - `--path PATH`
            - This option can be useful if you want to save the downloaded files in a directory other than the current working directory (the directory where you run the script). 
            - Sets the location of the configuration, logs and downloaded files. 
            - `PATH` must be an existing directory in which you have read and write access.
            - Default: current working directory
        - `--threads INT`
            - Overwrites the number of download threads. (default: 5)
        - `--verbose`
            - Print various debugging information
        - `--username USERNAME`
            - Can be used to automate the `--new-token` process. 
            - Specify username to skip the query when creating a new token.
        - `--password PASSWORD`
            - Can be used to automate the `--new-token` process. 
            - Specify password to skip the query when creating a new token.
            - If the password contains special characters like spaces you can enclose it in quotation marks
        - `--skip-cert-verify`
            - This flag is used to skip the certification verification while sending requests to Moodle.
            - Warning: This might lead to security flaws and should only be used in non-production environments.
            - Default: False
        - `--without-downloading-files`
            - This flag is used to skip the downloading of files.
            - This allows the local database to be updated to the latest version of Moodle without having to download all files.
        - `--sso`
            - This flag is used to indicate that a Single Sign On (SSO) login to your Moodle is required. 
            - Can be combined with `--init` and `--new-token`.
        
        
        
        
        ### Notes
        - Use a separate E-Mail - Account for sending out the notifications, as its login data is saved in cleartext.
        - The Login-Information for your Moodle-Account is secure, it isn't saved in any way. Only a Login-Token is saved.
        - Your Moodle token is stored in the configuration file (`config.json`). Be careful that no unauthorized person reads this file, especially the token must not be given to an unauthorized person, this can cause a lot of trouble.
        - The `privatetoken` can be used to create a cookie for your Moodle account. A Cookie is what is used to tell Moodle that you are logged in. The `cookie.txt` always keeps a valid cookie for you, take great care of this file, if it falls into the wrong hands someone can take over your entire Moodle account. This feature is only important for Moodles with plugins installed that are not supported by the Moodle app. If you do not want to generate cookies, remove the `privatetoken` from the `config.json`.
