<p>This needs a bit of trickery so that it won't try to parse the value as a CLI option. Specifically you will need to wrap the value with a single and double quotes:</p>
<pre><code>yaml w my.path '&quot;-Dvalue&quot;'
<p>The flag terminator needs to be used to stop the app from attempting to parse the subsequent arguments as flags:</p>
<pre><code>yaml w -- my.path -3
</code></pre>
<p>will output</p>
<pre><code class="yaml">my:
path: -Dvalue
path: -3
</code></pre>
