Commands and Command Numbers
In the GDS subsystem, command numbers are represented by symbolic names of the
form ZCOM-CMD-name, where name identifies the command. The command number
is a 16-bit unsigned integer.
The GDS subsystem supports the following commands:
These commands are described in Section 5, Commands and Responses.
Object Types
In the GDS subsystem, object types are represented by the symbolic names of the
form ZCOM-OBJ-name, where name identifies the object type. The object type is a 16-
bit unsigned integer.
The GDS subsystem supports the following object types:
Object Names
Object names are values of the token ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME in the GDS subsystem.
The object name is the name of the specified object type.
In general, a process name follows the operating system process naming convention.
A line name must be preceded by the process name under which the line is configured.
A subdevice name must be preceded by the process name and the line name under
which the terminal is configured. A task name may be a line name or a subdevice
name.
The following are examples of valid object names:
The GDS subsystem supports level-2 wildcards in object names. That is, an asterisk
(*) character can be used to represent a whole separated name, for example,
