mongdump "positional arguments not allowed"

What does mongodump not accept these arguments:

mongodump xyzserver.mlab.com:42129 /u mydb-test-restore-mongouser /p xyz /c shapeLink /d mydb-test-mongolab

Error:

positional arguments not allowed: [xyzserver.com:42129 ]

try 'mongodump --help' for more information

I am using v3.2.1 on Windows.

Positional argument:

--x this is a positional argument: error says that this is not supported when program expecting its output argument in it's main like main(int argc, char *argv[])

you should use this /x instead in target shell environment. Because it has handling input argument just as '/' instead '--'

Maybe you have to specify the host parameter with /h like so

mongodump /h xyzserver.mlab.com:42129 /u mydb-test-restore-mongouser /p xyz /c shapeLink /d mydb-test-mongolab
