Flags, command attributes, and arguments
The basic InfoPrint Manager command syntax is:
command [-flag ...] [argument ...]
The argument targets the specific object on which the InfoPrint Manager command operates. Most commands must include an argument. All commands can include one or more of:
- Flags
- Flags consist of a dash, -, followed by a single character. Flags either substitute
for command or object attributes or modify the way InfoPrint Manager processes a command. For example, you can use the -c flag instead of the class command attribute. Some flags have values associated with them.
Use the -x and the -X flags to enter command attributes or object attributes on the command line or to read in a file containing those attributes at a specific point in the command.
- Command attributes
- Use command attributes to modify the action of the command and to define the object
class on which the command operates. Most of the command attributes have an associated
command flag that causes the same action. You cannot use a command flag in an attributes
file. You can use the command attribute in an attributes file or on the command line
using the -X flag or the -x flag respectively.
When you enter an attribute and value pair, you must specify the attribute followed by the equals sign, =, followed by the value; do not include spaces between
