-o OSC IP & ports: -o 192.168.0.11 9000 192.168.0.11 8000
-n any mapItem as CSV: 'imagesPath,item,element,type,value'
-v display app version
------------------------------------------------------------
multiple flags ex: antz -f antz0001.csv -o 0 9000 0 8000
'-f' to load file antz0001.csv
'-o' with IP = 0 will autoset IP by listening to Rx port
'-f' File name to load, can include file path.
ex: antz -f antz0001.csv

*future support planned for additional protocols.
------------------------------------------------------------
'-o' OSC connection TxRx with both IP's and ports.
