What do you mean, Jonesy?  I am supposed to run orca with the command like
this:

orca "" -u

Is that what you are trying to say?

I wish people wouldn't speak unclearly, it's far to common that, especially
developers, speak in a shorthand which assumes people already know the
answers, so they write in some shorthand only known to the knowledgeable,
not the general public who might just be good at following clear
instructions.

Regards,

David
