**$** &nbsp;q **f** json.k

What’s the intention f in your command line?

I was trying to load json.k as per [http://code.kx.com/wiki/Reference/Cmdline](http://code.kx.com/wiki/Reference/Cmdline)

The command line has the form:

```
q [f] [-b] [-c r c] [-C r c] [-e 0|1] [-g 0|1] [-l] [-L][-o N] [-p N] [-P N] [-q] [-r :H:P] [-s N] [-t N] [-T N] [-u|U F] [-w N] [-W N] [-z 0|1]

```

  
**f** this is either the script to load (\*.q, \*.k, \*.s), or a file or directory

f there is the file/dir you’re loading into q, not a literal f
