Quick Reference Guide

Delimiter Example Description
interpreted as a literal double
quotation mark (").
Backslashes are interpreted
literally, unless they immediately
precede a double quotation
mark. If an even number of
backslashes are followed by a
double quotation mark, then one
backslash (\) is taken for every
pair of backslashes (\\), and the
double quotation mark (") is
interpreted as a string delimiter.
syscfg --option="\
\"argument"
considers \ and argument as two
arguments.
If an odd number of backslashes
are followed by a double
quotation mark, then one
backslash (\) is taken for every
pair of backslashes (\\) and the
double quotation mark is
interpreted as an escape
sequence by the remaining
backslash, causing a literal
double quotation mark (") to be
placed in the SYSCFG argument.
syscfg --option="\\
\"argument"
considers \ "argument as the
argument.
Read And Write Commands
Options can report a certain value or set of values based on the presence of an argument. These read or
write actions are implied in the DTK command line arguments. The get, read, set, or write commands,
for example, are not required.
NOTE: You cannot combine options that specify read or write actions in a command line instance.
