...With the Syntax of Console Commands
If you are at the console and are unsure about the function of a console command, use the
help command.
To view instructions about using a command:
t Use the following command: help <command name>
For instance, type:
help dbvisit for an explanation of the dbvisit command.
The following data appears:
dbvisit -<d or v or i> -[r or m name] -[s] [block# ...]
‘r’ for read only
‘s’ for “slow” to eliminate cache usage
‘m’ for machine name to disconnect
‘i’ to just validate isam files
n
Lengthy console displays might be edited to emphasize only the most important information
in this guide. An ellipsis (...) represents portions of the console display not shown in the text.
Also, because of the margin limitations of this guide, console command lines might appear
wrapped to multiple lines. This does not necessarily indicate the need to press an Enter key.
Unless otherwise indicated, console commands should be typed on a single line, allowing
the computer to wrap the text whenever the command line stretches beyond the screen
margin.
