Command Line Interface Reference

The FMA command line interface (FMACLI) provides access to most FMA functions and can be used instead of the user interface to manage data. The FMACLI is implemented in the FMACLI.exe module. It writes informational output to stdout and errors to stderr. Keep this in mind when redirecting output for logging purposes.

This section uses the following typographical conventions:

•Bold is used for command names and arguments in text.

•Monospace is used for command names and arguments in syntax and for code.

•Monospace italic is used for variables within command syntax, code, or command-line text.

•Brackets [ ] and braces { } are used for optional information.
