+### Usage
+
+Call a plugin with the "--help" option to receive information about its usage.
+Most of them don't need any parameters to but all of them have a -w (warning) and -c (critical) option.
+Those accept, if not otherwise specified, value or percentage based thresholds or threshold ranges.
+
+A few examples:
+*./check_command.exe -w 12 -c !60%*
+Adds a warning threshold of 12 and an inversed critical threshold of 60%
+
+*./check_command.exe -w ![20%-80%] -c [0%-40%]*
+The warning threshold is outside of 20% to 80% and the critical threshold is the range from 0% to 40%.
+A critical state always overwrites a warning state, meaning the check would be critical with a value of 30%.
