- COMMAND
- Invokes a secondary command processor
- See also <SHELL> <CONFIG.SYS>
-
- COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
-
- USE: COMMAND [d:][path][ctty-dev][/P] [/C string][/E:nnnnn]
-
- d: path is the drive and path that DOS will look in for the COMMAND
- processor.
- ctty-dev allows you to specify a different device (such as AUX) for
- input and output.
- /P makes the secondary command processor permanent in memory. The
- <AUTOEXEC.BAT> file is executed following this command.
- /C string passes a string (a DOS command) to the command processor and
- then exits automatically.
- /E:nnnnn is an integer that specifies the size (in bytes) of the
- environment. The acceptable range of nnnnn is from 160 to 32768.
- (not available pre DOS 2.x). In DOS 3.1, the size is in paragraphs
- (units of 16 bytes). Default size is 160 bytes.
-
- EXAMPLE: COMMAND /C CHKDSK B:
- loads a secondary command processor, runs the command <CHKDSK> on drive B
- and returns to the original command processor.
