Arguments

Arg	Purpose
-h --help	Displays the help prompt explaining all the arguments.
-u --url	The URL to redirect to (including the port, if non-standard, although the Tumblr API doesn't seem to redirect properly to addresses with ports.)
-p, --port	The port to host the internal web server on. Be sure it matches the host!
-w, --write	Request the write access scope for the returned token.
-o, --offline	Request the offline_access scope for the returned token, which will return the refresh token as well if the json option is specified.
-j, --json	Instead of only printing the access token, prints the entire JSON response body, including expiry, refresh token, and similar.
