That would be very helpful, since I'd to guess most of the time.
First, there are two switches that alter the executable behaviour:
--luaonly
--luaconly
Then, there are ignored:
--8bit
--etex
--[no-]parse-first-line
these are always on
--default-translate-file=TCXNAME
--translate-file=TCXNAME
these are always off
Actually interpreted switches and arguments:
--credits
prints credits
--debug-format
(normally undocumented) to debug format loading
--draftmode
switch on draft mode (generates no output PDF)
--disable-write18
--enable-write18
--[no-]shell-escape
--shell-restricted
enable/disable/restrict \write18, os.execute(),
os.exec(), os.spawn(), and io.popen().
--[no-]file-line-error[-style]
disable/enable file:line:error style messages
--fmt=FMTNAME
use FMTNAME instead of program name or a %& line
--halt-on-error
stop processing at the first error
--help
show help
--ini
be iniluatex, for dumping formats
--interaction=STRING
set interaction mode (STRING=batchmode/nonstopmode/
scrollmode/errorstopmode)
--jobname=STRING
set the job name to STRING
--kpathsea-debug=NUMBER
set path searching debugging flags according to
the bits of NUMBER
--lua=FILE
the lua initialization file
--[no-]mktex=FMT
disable/enable mktexFMT generation (FMT=tex/tfm)
--nosocket
disable the luasocket (network) library
--output-comment=STRING
use STRING for DVI file comment instead of date
--output-directory=DIR
use DIR as the directory to write files to
--output-format=FORMAT
use FORMAT for job output; FORMAT is `dvi' or `pdf
--progname=STRING
set program (and fmt) name to STRING
--recorder
enable filename recorder
--safer
disable easily exploitable lua commands
--synctex=NUMBER
enable/disable synctex
--version
show version and exit
The presence of --lua makes most of these switches unreliable,
because the lua initialization file can disable kpathsea and/or
hook functions into various callbacks. Here is the list of
possibly affected switches/functionality, and why:
--[no-]file-line-error[-style]
--halt-on-error
--disable-write18
--enable-write18
--[no-]shell-escape
--shell-restricted
--fmt
--jobname
controllable via the texconfig table
--kpathsea-debug
--[no-]mktex
--output-directory
--progname=S
--jobname=S
--recorder
kpathsea can be switched off via the texconfig table
--interaction
--output-format
--synctex
--draftmode
can be reset via texconf.init function
--<unrecognized options>
the lua initialization script can access the commandline, so it
can interpret extra options if it so desires.
