Parameter	Description	Value/Field Size	Default

[Input or Output Field]	What the switch puts on your screen (either as input
(</d>)	or output) relating to the console command you are
	executing. The [InputParameter] is an entry you
	need to complete if you do not accept the default.
	The [OutputParameter] shows information from the
	switch. Requires no input. This example is available
	only within the detailed information table.

for input entry.	the switch.

Parameters appear in the parameter tables in the same order and spelling as the switch shows them.

Most switch attribute descriptions show two tables—Input Parameter and Output Parameter. If the parameter has already been described in the input parameter table, no reference to it appears in the output parameter table. The output parameter table contains only parameters that have not been described in the input parameter table or that are written very differently on output despite having the same meaning.
