 - Launch a given program and limit it to only use 50% of the CPU:
 
-`cpulimit --limit {{50}} {{program}}`
+`cpulimit --limit {{50}} -- {{program arg1 arg2 ...}}`
 
 - Launch a program, limit its CPU usage to 50% and run cpulimit in the background:
 
-`cpulimit --limit {{50}} --background {{program}}`
+`cpulimit --limit {{50}} --background -- {{program}}`

-`cpulimit --limit 50 --kill {{program}}`
+`cpulimit --limit 50 --kill -- {{program}}`
