Command Syntax
Example of a command that supports multiple options:
ftp [-p <port number>] [-S <enable | disable>]
In this example, the ftp command accepts the option -p, which defines the port number, and the option
-S, which enables or disables the FTP feature.
To change the FTP port number to 5010, and enable FTP:
1. Enter the ftp command, the port option, and the argument 5010:
ftp -p 5010
2. After the first command succeeds, enter the ftp command, the enable/disable option, and the
enable selection:
ftp -S enable
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:
alarmcount -p critical
The command will fail if you type an argument that is not specified.
