## Synopsis
```shell copy
codeql resolve ram [--ram=<MB>] <options>...
```
## Description
\[Deep plumbing] Prepare RAM options.
This deep plumbing command prepares appropriate command-line options to
start a subcommand that will execute a QL query evaluator. It knows
appropriate heuristics for deciding whether to keep some of the
configured memory outside the Java heap.
In particular, this should be used to find appropriate `-J-Xmx` and
`--off-heap-ram` options before staring a query server based on a
desired _total_ RAM amount.
## Options
### Primary Options
#### `--format=<fmt>`
Select output format. Choices include:
`lines` _(default)_: Print command-line arguments on one line each.
`json`: Print them as a JSON array.
### Options from the invoking command's command line
#### `-M, --ram=<MB>`
Set total amount of RAM the query evaluator should be allowed to use.
### Common options
#### `-h, --help`
Show this help text.
#### `-J=<opt>`
\[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
#### `-v, --verbose`
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
#### `-q, --quiet`
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
#### `--verbosity=<level>`
\[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides `-v`
and `-q`.
#### `--logdir=<dir>`
\[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given
directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of
the running subcommand.
(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead
give `--log-to-stderr` and redirect stderr as desired.)
#### `--common-caches=<dir>`
\[Advanced] Controls the location of cached data on disk that will
persist between several runs of the CLI, such as downloaded QL packs and
compiled query plans. If not set explicitly, this defaults to a
directory named `.codeql` in the user's home directory; it will be
created if it doesn't already exist.
Available since `v2.15.2`.
