Some commands require one or more arguments. When using the install command, for
example, you need to specify which package(s) to install:
zypper install mplayer
Some options also require an argument. The following command will list all known
patterns:

You can combine all of the above. For example, the following command will install
the mplayer and amarok packages from the factory repository while being ver-
bose:
zypper -v install --from factory mplayer amarok
The --from option makes sure to keep all repositories enabled (for solving any depen-
dencies) while requesting the package from the specied repository.
