Command Line Protocol (CLP)
<options>
Command options modify the action or the behavior of a verb. Options
can immediately follow the verb in a command line and must always be
introduced by a dash ("-").
Options allow you to, for instance,
– define the output format,
– permit recursive execution of a command,
– display the version of a command or
– request help.
<target>
<target> specifies the address or the path of the object to be manipulated
by the command, i.e. the target of the command. This can be a single
managed element such as a hard disk, a network adapter (Network
Interface Card, NIC), or the management program (Management
Assistance Program, MAP) itself. Targets can, however, also be services
such as a transport service.
Several managed elements which can be managed by the management
program can be subsumed under a single <target>, for instance the
entire system.
Only one <target> may be specified for each command.
<properties>
<properties> describe the properties of the target of the command which
are required to execute the command. Thus, <properties> identify the
properties of the target’s class that are to be retrieved or modified by the
command.
