What are command line arguments for sbt?

I read somewhere that all arguments for sbt:

java -jar /home/robert/.conscript/sbt-launch.jar  arg1 arg2 ..

are the dependencies with which to start sbt.

What about arguments starting with "@"?

The question is because I want to discovery how conscript is working. It is just SBT with '@/home/robert/.conscript/n8han/conscript/cs/launchconfig' as a first argument, other command line arguments are also passed to (through "$@" at the last argument for sbt). The launchconfig is a simple ini like file:

[app]
  version: 0.3.4
  org: net.databinder
  name: conscript
  class: conscript.Conscript
[scala]
  version: 2.9.1
[repositories]
  local
  scala-tools-releases
  maven-central
[boot]
  directory: /home/robert/.conscript/boot

But there is no information about dependencies. Moreover conscript doesn't have any other file (besides sbt and cs runner, which is the sbt command).

This page talks about Launcher configurations:

http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Sbt-Launcher.html

So you can basically configure sbt itself, e.g. add repositories where it should look by default, choose another ivy location, and so forth.
