APCTAP Commands

The following pages describe the APCTAP commands. The syntax in the formatter was

designed to be as brief as possible. You can omit spaces between a command verb and

its parameter. However, if you do omit spaces, be aware that the commands TOFILEX

and TO FILEX are not equivalent. The first sends trace output to a file named OFILEX;

the second sends trace output to a file named FILEX.

Table 5-1

lists the the APCTAP commands.

Commands and parameters are spelled in full in all examples in this section. Characters

enclosed in brackets, [ ], shown in the explanation of individual commands, are

optional.
