Command Syntax
Example of a command that supports multiple options:
user [-an <admin name>] [-ap <admin password>]
In this example, the
user
command accepts the option
-an
, which defines the Administrator user name,
and the option
-ap
, which defines the Administrator password. To change the Administrator user name
and password to XYZ:
1. Type the user command, one option, and the argument
XYZ
:
user -ap XYZ
2. After the first command succeeds, type the user command, the second option, and the argument
XYZ
:
user -an XYZ
Example of a command that accepts mutually exclusive arguments for an option:
alarmcount -p [all | warning | critical]
In this example, the option -p accepts only three arguments: all, warning, or critical. For example, to
view the number of active critical alarms, type:
view the number of active critical alarms, type:
alarmcount -p critical
The command will fail if you type an argument that is not specified.
