3.2
Entering and Editing Commands
In examples throughout the manual, Server commands and keywords are displayed in uppercase for clarity.
They may be entered in upper, lower, or mixed case.
The
Command Reference
chapter displays the syntax of each command, and includes restrictions, known
errors, and references to related commands. Optional parameters are enclosed in straight brackets
[ ]
.
Multiple options in a set of brackets may be entered, or options can be omitted entirely. Required parameters
are enclosed in curly braces
{ }
. One and only one of the parameters enclosed in each set of braces must be
used. User-supplied parameters, such as a particular host name, are shown in italics or all lower case.
When entering a string, such as a username or filename, it is important to remember to
enclose the string
in quotes
to preserve case and spacing. If a string is not enclosed in quotes, it will be automatically changed
to all uppercase characters.
Note:
The privileged and login passwords are case-independent, even when entered in
quotes.
The Server
command completion
feature, when enabled, will complete partially-typed commands for you.
This can save time and reduce errors if you’re entering a number of commands. To use command
completion, type part of a command, then press the space bar; the Server will automatically “type” the
remainder of the command. If the partial command is ambiguous, the terminal will beep to prompt you for
more information. See
Set/Define Port Command Completion
on page 12-17 for more information
