-h, --help, --help-np

disables the use of a pager for displaying the help
message
-l {critical,error,warning,info,debug,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, --log-level {critical,error,warning,info,debug,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

For settings, config file will be consulted
--version show the program's version and license information and

-C PATH run as if datalad was started in <path> instead of the
current working directory. When multiple -C options
are given, each subsequent non-absolute -C <path> is
interpreted relative to the preceding -C <path>. This
option affects the interpretations of the path names
in that they are made relative to the working
directory caused by the -C option
