[Snort-sigs] what does this command do?

I'm new to snort so bear with me.
What exactly is this command doing:

snort -dvc /root/snort_dir_here/etc/snort.conf

I know the v switch is sniffer mode. But is snort running in IDS mode with that command as well?

Also, what argument should I use when utilizing the rules that come bundled with snort. I keep getting errors.

Thanks for any help
