root is an interactive interpreter of C++ code using Cling and the ROOT framework.

  -h, -?, --help                       Show summary of options
  --version                            Show the ROOT version
  --notebook                           Execute ROOT notebook
  --web                                Use web-based display for graphics, browser, geometry [deprecated, use "web=on" instead]
  --web=<type>                         Use the specified web-based display such as chrome, firefox, qt6
                                       For more options see the documentation of TROOT::SetWebDisplay()
  --web=off                            Disable any kind of web-based display
  [dir]                                if dir is a valid directory cd to it before executing
  [data1.root...dataN.root]            Open the given ROOT files; remote protocols (such as http://) are supported
  [file1.C...fileN.C]                  Execute the ROOT macro file1.C ... fileN.C
                                       Compilation flags as well as macro arguments can be passed, see format in https://root.cern/manual/root_macros_and_shared_libraries/
  [file1_C.so...fileN_C.so]            Load and execute file1_C.so ... fileN_C.so (or .dll if on Windows)
                                       They should be already-compiled ROOT macros (shared libraries) or:
                                       regular user shared libraries e.g. userlib.so with a function userlib(args)
  [anyfile1..anyfileN]                 All other arguments pointing to existing files will be checked to see if they are ROOT Files (checking the MIME type inside the file) and if they are not they will be handled as a ROOT macro file
  [-- [macro args]]                    Any arguments after a `--` will be treated as arguments to the last macro passed as a positional argument (e.g. `root myMacro.C -- 1 2 3` will be equivalent to `root "myMacro.C(1,2,3)"`)
