2.4.2 Issuing a command
A command must start with a command-type root command, followed by a command name, followed
by a set of parameters. Parameters values can either be specified by a mark-up notation or by placing
the parameter values in the sequence specified by the help text – or a combination of these methods.
Markup notation
When using this notation, the sequence in which the parameters are entered is not essential:
Example 2.13
xcommand dial Bandwidth:384 callDst:bob callSrc:alice
Abbreviations can be used for the parameter names as long as the parameter names are unique
within the command:
Example 2.14
xcommand dial B:384 callD:bob callS:alice
