        To scrape user's media:
        ```bash
        vk-scraper <username> -u <your username> -p <your password>

        To specify multiple users, pass a delimited list of users:
        ```bash
        vk-scraper username1,username2,username3
        ```
        
        You can also supply a file containing a list of usernames:
        ```bash
        vk-scraper -f vk_users.txt
        ```
        
        ```
        # vk_users.txt
        
        username1
        username2
        username3
        
        # and so on...
        ```
