  2. The game links destination folder path.
  3. The RetroArch playlist folder path.
retroarch-links-generator /the/retroarch/executable /the/destination/folder /the/retroarch/playlists

It's possible to parse only certain playlists with the following command:

retroarch-links-generator /executable /dest ./playlist-1.lpl,./playlist-2.lpl

It's possible to directly write Steam library shortcuts providing a path to the right vdf file, usually (steam installation path)/userdata/(your user id)/config/shortcuts.vdf
