What is the mean of this tcl command for Modelsim?

I download the demo tcl from Altera website for compiling the Altera libraries into Modelsim PE. I open the tcl and there is command as this:

vlog -work arriagx_ver $path_to_quartus/eda/sim_lib/arriagx_atoms.v

"arriagx_ver" is the libraries names created before with command:

vlib arriagx_ver

vmap arriagx_ver arriagx_ver

But adding "-work", what does command mean? Does it meaing compiling the "arriagx_atoms.v" into libraries "arriagx_ver"? Hope someone can help me understand it.

Thanks very much.

    Yes, that is what the command means.

    There is a Modelsim manual and tutorial - look under the help menu in Modelsim.

    Cheers,
