I think the doc a the beginning of the script is clear enough. Unfortunately, I can't translate it to a Windows BATCH script as I don't know it. The script is below and can be downloaded here.

## saxon [--b|--sa]? [--catalogs=...]* [--catalog-verbose[=...]]* \
## [--add-cp=...]* [--cp=...]* <original Saxon args>

## Order of arguments is not significant, but the arguments to be
## forwarded to Saxon must be at the end. See below for an
## explanation of the arguments.
##
## Depends on the following environment variables:
##
## - APACHE_XML_RESOLVER_JAR (if catalogs are used)
## - SAXON_SCRIPT_DIR (must contain saxon8.jar or saxon8sa.jar, and
## the licence file and saxon8-sql.jar if used)
## - SAXON_SCRIPT_HOME (if different from $HOME, for tilde "~"
## substitution)
