I am using python-behave for BDD testing, I have to pass an URL (e.g. www.abc.com) from command line.

$behave -u "www.abc.com"

To achieve this, I have read behave documentation but there are not enough materials as well as explanations given for setting up the behave.ini file. I am also not sure how behave.ini file helps me to pass an argument.

Can someone please tell me how I can setup command line parameters for behave?
