 | `--signature-type` | `FUNCTION_SIGNATURE_TYPE` | The signature used when writing your function. Controls unmarshalling rules and determines which arguments are used to invoke your function. Default: `http`; accepted values: `http` or `event` or `cloudevent` |
 | `--source`         | `FUNCTION_SOURCE`         | The path to the directory of your function. Default: `cwd` (the current working directory)                                                                                                                       |
