An argument to a command that is generally used as an object supplying information to a utility necessary to complete its processing. Operands generally follow the options in a command line.
Posix definitions: operands

For example:
Code:
    options
       |
       v
mkdir -p dirA dirB
         +-------+
             ^
             |
         operands
