Syntax of Command Monitor Commands

Syntax of Command Monitor Commands

The Command Monitor command syntax is designed to resemble the syntax of commands used with the IRIX operating system. This chapter uses IRIX notation for command descriptions:

Boldface words are literals. Type them as they are shown.
Square brackets ([]) surrounding an argument means that the argument is optional.
Vertical lines (|) separating arguments mean that you can specify only one optional argument within a set of brackets.
file means that you must specify a file name. A file name includes a device specification as described in "Syntax of Command Monitor File Names".
