Command Line Interface

Commands

The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and conventions:

Commands and keywords are case insensitive.

Required keyword values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in

italics: [value].

Underlined portions of the keyword in the command format indicate the abbreviated form that can be used. For example the Delete keyword can be abbreviated Del.

The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands easier. Table 43 describes the command-line completion keystrokes.
