 Each extractor defines its own set of configuration options. To find out which options are available for a particular extractor, you can run ``codeql resolve languages`` or ``codeql resolve extractor`` with the ``--format=betterjson`` option. The ``betterjson`` output format provides the root paths of extractors and additional information. The output of ``codeql resolve extractor --format=betterjson`` will often be formatted like the following example::

 Assigning an extractor option that does not exist is an error. You can make the CodeQL CLI ignore unknown extractor options by using a special ``__allow_unknown_properties`` Boolean field.
