Read and write options
You cannot combine the options that specify read and write actions in a command line instance. The following table provides examples for
read and write commands.
Table 4. Read and write options
Valid or Invalid Example
valid
cctk --option1 --option2
valid
cctk --option1=arg --option2=arg
NOTE: You have to provide the setup password, if it is already set on the
system.
invalid
cctk --option1=arg --option2
File input and output commands
Specify the input le using the -i=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the input le. Specify the output le
input using the
– o=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the output le.
LogFile
The -l=<filename> or --logfile=<filename> option records information output on the command line to the specied log le.
If the log le already exists, information is appended to the le. This allows multiple tools to use the same log le to record information. Use
this option to record the output of a utility.
The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specied le. Each log le begins with a time stamp and utility name. For
example:
YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS <utilname> - <output text>
The following is an example of the logging behavior:
2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option1= on
2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option2= on
2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option3= off
