Now Cuckoo is ready to run and it's waiting for submissions.
``cuckoo.py`` accepts some command line options as shown by the help::
usage: cuckoo.py [-h] [-q] [-d] [-v] [-l]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-q, --quiet Display only error messages
-d, --debug Display debug messages
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
-l, --logo Show artwork
Most importantly ``--debug`` and ``--quiet`` respectively increase and decrease the logging
verbosity.
