■
For a value entered as a literal, it is necessary to enclose the value in quotes
(double or single) if it contains special characters such as *, <, >, ?, |, %, $, or
space. Otherwise, the system will interpret the characters with a special meaning
before it is passed to the command.
■
Literals cannot contain leading or trailing spaces. Leading or trailing spaces
enclosed in quotes will be removed before the command is processed.
Common arguments
The following arguments are used by many commands. For each, a long and short
variation is included. You can use either one. The short arguments ARE case
sensitive. For arguments that are specific to each command, refer to the section for
that command.
Note –
You only need to use the
--server-username (-u)
and
--server-password
(-p)
arguments when you log into a server. You do not need them for subsequent
commands on the same server during your current session.
