Bash itself has a number of command-line options. Here are some of the more useful ones.
-c

bash$ bash -c 'set a b c d; IFS="+-;"; echo "$*"' a+b+c+d |
-r
--restricted
Runs the shell, or a script, in restricted mode.
--posix
Forces Bash to conform to POSIX mode.
--version
Display Bash version information and exit.
--
End of options. Anything further on the command line is an argument, not an option.
