Why we have to mention ACCESS KEY and SECURITY KEY two time when we import vmdk files to ec2

Following is the code I found in web

ec2-import-volume xxx.vmdk -f vmdk -b <S3 bucket name> -O
    <ACCESS KEY> -W <SECURITY KEY> -o <ACCESS KEY> -w <SECURITY KEY>
    -z <your zone, ex:-ap-southeast-1a> --region <your region, ex:-
    ap-southeast-1>

I don't see that in the description of ec2-import-volume at the EC2 CLI documentation.

The syntax is documented as:

ec2-import-volume disk_image -f file_format [-s volume_size ] -z availability_zone [- b s3_bucket_name ] [-o owner ] -w secret_key [--prefix prefix ] [--manifest-url url ] [-d description ] [--x days ] [--ignore-region-affinity] [--dry-run] [--no-upload] [--dont- verify-format]

That said, the EC2 CLI is a legacy tool and has, for most purposes, been superseded by the unified AWSCLI.
