Confusion on ark_ , arkopt_ , and arkflag_

I am trying to get a server set up with a lot of the GameUserSettings changed. From reading other issues it is stated that ark_ , arkopt_ , and arkflag_ is used for command line arguments and everything else needs to be set in GameUserSettings.ini or Game.ini files.
The confusion I am having is how options like ark_MaxPlayers work if this is NOT a command line argument. I have not seen a list of variables that work in the arkmanager.cfg/main.cfg and what needs to be set in the GameUserSettings.ini/Game.ini files.

Can someone clear this up for me if possible?

In the options in https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Command_line_options:

  • ?option=value is specified using ark_option=value
  • -option=value is specified using arkopt_option=value
  • -option is specified using arkflag_option=true

Additionally, any option in https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#GameUserSettings.ini where both ASE and CMD are ticked can be treated as a ?option=value for the above.
