adpatch options

I have noticed that most of the people are not aware of all the options availabl
e with adpatch. It is very simple, just type :
adpatch help=y
on unix prompt to display all the options.
Here's the output on an 11.5.10.2 instance patched with AD.I.5 and ATG RUP5:
adpatch help=y
usage: adpatch [help=y]
adpatch Pre-Install Mode
[preinstall=y|n]
adpatch Test Mode
[apply=y|n]
adpatch Non-Interactive mode
[defaultsfile=<$APPL_TOP/admin/SID/defaultsfile>]
[logfile=][interactive=y|n][workers=]
[patchtop=][driver=][restart=y|n]
[abandon=y|n][wait_on_failed_job=y|n]
adpatch
[localworkers=][workers=]
[printdebug=y|n][parallel_index_threshold=]
[order=] [flags=][options=]
