Command line syntax

Bold

type is used to indicate characters you must type exactly as shown. For

example:

COPY B:\ACT-TOOL\ACT.EXE C:\UTILITIES

Note

Extra spaces are added between command elements for clarity;
you need only type a single space.

Italic

type indicates variable elements. For example:

arp -a

printer-name

printer-Ethernet-address

Optional command parameters are indicated within [square brackets]. For
example:

To extract the Þles from the diskette, enter this command:

tar xvf /dev/

devicename

[

dir

]

[

Þle

]

where specifying

dir

extracts an entire directory, specifying

Þle

extracts a single Þle, and no arguments extracts the contents of the
entire disk.
