The command line options in Windows version is the same the Linux version. You can find the list in the Linux manual page https://linux.die.net/man/1/gerbv

Since the options are version dependent here is the list of Enhanced command line functionality https://sourceforge.net/p/gerbv/patches/13/

also to the offical gerbv project will be good if we add dxf export feature , its already done here : https://github.com/alyoshin/gerbv-dxf/

will be good to add it to offical version

thanks
