Rake and command line options

How does one pass options to rake?
E.g.:

   rake prefix=new_path

Is this correct?
If so, how is this used inside the rake file?

Thanks

Inside the rake file, use: ENV['prefix']

It treats it like an environment variable so that you can put it in the
environment or pass it in explicitly.
