5.1.2 Command Syntax Conventions

The system uses a one-level command structure. You must type the full command every time, as follows.

CM> <command>

For instance, the following example displays the time (in milliseconds) since the Prestige was last restarted.

CM> system_time

The conventions for typing in most CI commands are shown next.

command [(#)] [parms...]

•The command keywords are in courier new font.

•Commands are case-sensitive. Thus -iis not the same as -I.

•Commands can be abbreviated to the smallest unique string that differentiates the command. For example the help command could be abbreviated to he.

•You may enter a unique part of a command and press [TAB] to have the Prestige automatically display the full command. For example, if you enter he and press [TAB], the full command of help automatically displays.

•The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets <>.

•The range or length of the required field input is enclosed in curly brackets {}.

•The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets [].

•The symbol means or.

•Numbers are delimited by one of a space, comma, or semicolon (for example, 0,1;2 3). A range is delimited by a dash (for example, 0-3). You can specify an open-ended range that goes to the maximum allowed (for example, 3-). You can specify a range of values using all delimiters (for example, 0 - 3,5,7-).
