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
-i
is 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-
).
