Usage: bleachbit_cli [options] cleaner.option1 cleaner.option2

Options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -l, --list-cleaners  list cleaners
  -d, --delete         delete files and make other permanent changes
  --sysinfo            show system information

    On their website, they say to simply enter bleachbit --(argument here) but all that does is open the program. Am I doing something wrong?
