Programmatic Commands
Table 1-1 briefly describes the programmatic commands available for SNAX/APC.
This table also indicates the commands that accept the wild-card characters * and ?.
These characters are described in “Using Wild-Card Characters,” later in this
subsection.
Table 1-1. Programmatic Command Summary

Section 5 describes the syntax for the programmatic commands, including the objects
that each command can control and the tokens it uses. For information about the SCF
versions of the SNAX/APC commands, see the SCF Reference Manual for SNAX/APC.
Using Wild-Card Characters
Wild-card characters allow several objects of the same object type (except the PROC
object type) to be indicated in a command.
The asterisk wild-card character (*) designates zero or more characters. For example,
an INFO command issued against the PTNR-LU object type with * indicated as the
object name returns information on all PTNR-LU objects. If the name used was A*,
information would be returned for all PTNR-LU objects whose names begin with A.
The question mark wild-card character (?) designates a single character. For example,
an INFO command issued against the PTNR-LU object type with ???W??? indicated as
the object name returns information on all seven-character PTNR-LU names with the
letter W as the fourth character.
