Command Syntax
UNIX command syntax appears in monospace font. The dollar character ($), number sign (#), or percent character (%) are UNIX command prompts. Do not enter them as part of the command. The following command syntax conventions are used in this guide:
| Convention | Description |
|---|---|
|
backslash \ |
A backslash is the UNIX command continuation character. It is used in command examples that are too long to fit on a single line. Enter the command as displayed (with a backslash) or enter it on a single line without a backslash: dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s6 of=/dev/rst0 bs=10b \ count=10000 |
|
braces { } |
Braces indicate required items: .DEFINE {macro1} |
|
brackets [ ] |
Brackets indicate optional items: cvtcrt termname [outfile] |
|
ellipses ... |
Ellipses indicate an arbitrary number of similar items: CHKVAL fieldname value1 value2 ... valueN |
|
italics |
Italic type indicates a variable. Substitute a value for the variable: library_name |
|
vertical line | |
A vertical line indicates a choice within braces or brackets: FILE filesize [K|M] |
