If you are not sure which arguments are supported by a command, ask for help using the -? option: `bc comp get -?` lists all arguments supported by the "COMP GET" command, for example.

## Component Source Arguments

For more details how these component parameters work see [Component Resolution](/boomi-console/commands/arguments/common-arguments/command-sources.md).

<details>

<summary>/ComponentId, /c</summary>

The component Id(s) for the current command.

To get the current version of a component, specify the component id only `53e9908b-8c82-4b64-...`

If you want to retrieve a specific version you must add the `~<VersionNo>`, for example: `53e9908b-8c82-4b64~12` to get version 12 of that component.
