plink categorical covariates

I am trying to do GWAS using plink.

For categorical covariates, I understand that I should use "--write-covar --dummy-coding" option.

Then for the "cov" variable, new three variables "cov_2, cov_3, cov_0" are created.

After that, should I include all these three variables like "--covar-name cov_2,cov_3,cov_0"?
