How to use these numbers

Let's assume that you want to log the following items:
  • Operating System (Software - 1)
  • Applications (Software - 1048576)
  • Licenses (Software - 1073741824)
  • Motherboard (Hardware - 2)
  • BIOS (Hardware - 4)
  • CPU (Hardware - 8)
  • PCI (Hardware - 32)
  • Network Extra Info (Network - 64)
  • Open Ports (Network - 4)
The value for the "/s" argument is 1 + 1048576 + 1073741824 = 1074790401
The value for the "/h" argument is 2 + 4 + 8 + 32 = 46
The value for the "/n" argument is 64 + 4 = 68
The command line can be: 
siw /log:xml=c:\%COMPUTERNAME%.xml /email=MyEmail@hotmail.com
    /subject="Message from %USERNAME% (%USERDOMAIN%)"
    /body="Report for %COMPUTERNAME%"
    /smtp=smtp.server.com /silent /s:1074790401 /h:46 /n:68
Note: The environment variables (like %COMPUTERNAME% or %USERNAME%) are automatically expanded.
