generates a file in the current directory using the default name
hpdiscovery.xml.
/? This argument displays help information.
/p
This argument lists only the plug-ins the user wants to load and
does not use the data file or search for plug-ins. If the filename is
not in the current directory, then the full path must be specified.
/f
This argument chooses the name and location of the output file. If
the user does not pass in this parameter, then the default filename
