Solr: create -c tweets -d tweet_configs -s 1 -rf 1. What is the purpose of this line of code?

[#1]

I've been following the tutorial : http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/how-to-refine-and-visualize-sentiment-data/

I came across a sentence that said " Add a collection called tweets” using create -c tweets -d tweet_configs -s 1 -rf 1.

What does -c , -d mean?

Thanks,

Keerthana

-c	-collection <name>	For linkconfig: name of the collection.
-d	-confdir <path>	For upconfig: a directory of configuration files. For downconfig: the destination of files pulled from Zookeeper
