Command Syntax Overview
Syntax refers to the way a command and its parameters are entered. CLI
commands can be arranged in any order in a command line instance as long
as they conform to the basic command line syntax.
Command Line Syntax
The general usage models of the CCTK utilities are as follows:
CCTK --option1=[arg1]
or
cctk --option1=[arg1]...--optionX=[argX]
NOTE: Some of the options in CCTK are followed by an asterisk. You can use such
options only for reporting purposes and cannot use the reporting options with set
options.
The following table lists the generic command line characters and arguments
present in the command line options with a short description of these
characters.
