Don't understand how to use the command line - Hexxx - 02-25-2016

Trying to run it like this:

Code:
D:\Downloads\hashcat-2.00\hashcat-2.00>hashcat-cli64.exe -a 0 -m 1000 my.hash

Usage: hashcat [options] hashfile [mask|wordfiles|directories]

Try --help for more help.

So the output means that there's invalid argument. Did a bit of debugging and it just tries to parse "my.hash" as command line argument via getopt_long() and does exit (-1);
Can't find the way to pass the path to my hash file to the application.

hashcat-cli64.exe -a 0 -m 1000 my.hash missing something
