Entering Commands
The complete syntax of all RDFCOM commands appears in Chapter 8 (page 176). Some general
rules that apply to all RDFCOM commands appear in the following list:
• You can enter commands in either uppercase or lowercase letters or any combination of these.
• RDFCOM reads command lines up to 132 characters (bytes) long; if the maximum line length
of your input device is less than 132 characters, and your command input exceeds the device’s
limit, the input will wrap around to the next line but will terminate when 132 characters have
been read. RDFCOM does not support additional entry lines or special command continuation
characters.
• RDFCOM supports a comments character (vertical bar - |) within command entry lines or
within OBEY command files.
For more information on using the comment character, see the Sample Configuration script
in “Sample Configuration File” (page 341).
Requesting Online Help
Through the RDFCOM HELP command, you can display brief descriptions of:
• RDFCOM command syntax (including syntax for the HELP command itself)
• Numbered RDF messages (such as 700, 705, and so forth)
The HELP text is intended as a reminder, not as a substitute for this manual.
Help for Command Syntax
To obtain syntax information for an individual command, enter HELP followed by the command
name. For example, to display the ADD command syntax, enter:
]HELP ADD
RDFCOM displays the following:
{ RDF }
{ MONITOR }
{ EXTRACTOR }
{ RECEIVER }
ADD { IMAGETRAIL $volume }
