Kernel Arguments are command-line parameters to the simulator that changes the behavior of the kernel according to the available arguments listed below:
attach: Attaches a Visual Studio debugger to the current instance of the kernel (Windows only)
quiet: Starts the kernel quietly
maintenance: Starts the kernel in maintenance mode which behaves like safe mode but with additional features turned off
safe: Starts the kernel in safe mode which disables all mods
testInteractive: Opens the interactive test facade selection
debug: Enables debug mode
terminaldebug: Enables terminal debug mode
reset: Wipes all settings and resets the kernel to factory settings
bypasssizedetection: Bypasses the 80x24 console size detection
noaltbuffer: Prevents the kernel from using the alternative buffer
noprebootsplash: Prevents the kernel from displaying the pre-boot splash
lang <lang>: Selects a pre-boot environment language
verbosepreboot: Shows extra pre-boot messages
Each argument is provided the ArgumentInfo class that defines the argument and its properties.
It's been theorized that we can actually define the argument parameters using CommandArgumentInfo. As of Beta 1, there is one kernel argument that actually uses parameters, but you have to surround said argument with the double quotation marks "".
The arguments are parsed each time the kernel starts up or gets rebooted. If there are any switches or argument parameters, they'll get parsed using the ProvidedArgumentsInfo class.
