Introduction

Command Line Editing

1-2

Please read this section carefully so you can understand the conventions used in the command descriptions.

Commands are listed in alphabetical order.

Some commands do not apply to all members of the MSS family, and are so noted.

Commands and keywords appear in

BOLD

face.

User-entered parameters appear in

italics

. You must replace the italicized word.

When entering a parameter that is case-sensitive, such as file and host names, enclose the parameter
in quotes to preserve case.

The Port portlist and Server parameters currently only apply to commands issued for the MSS4. Read
each command carefully for more details.

When two or more parameters appear in curly braces {}, you must choose one and only one of the
items within each set of braces to complete the command.

Parameters that appear in brackets [] are optional. If more than one parameter appears in a single set
of brackets, only one parameter may be chosen at a time. Single parameters enclosed in brackets may
be omitted from the command, or used in combination with one another.

The MSS has a reduced command set from the EPS, ETS, and MPS product lines.

Change

commands

replace the Set/Define Server and Set/Define Port commands used in the earlier products.

A single Change command will take effect immediately (like a Set command), and will remain in
effect until another Change command is issued (like a Define command). The exceptions are the
Change Port and Set Privileged commands, which do not take effect until the port is logged out.
