Valid Argument <

filename

Description

Writes all BIOS options, that you can replicate to the BIOS of another system, to the

specified filename. The file name you specify should have .ini extension and should be

created in the default installation directory. The format of the output is in an .ini format,

with the utility name as the section header. If a file with the same name already exists,

the information is appended to the file. If this option is used with other function

commands, the commands are applied in the order in which they appear. This option

captures replicable BIOS options. The file is created in the directory where you run the

CCTK command.

In the .ini file, bootorder is displayed as a list of comma separated device short forms in

the order they are assigned. A plus (+) symbol with the device name indicates that the

device is enabled and a minus (-) symbol indicates that the device is disabled. You can

change the boot order by changing the order of the list. You can also enter the device

number instead of the device name.

You can enable or disable the devices by changing the symbol displayed with the device.

These symbols are optional and if not present, the current status of the device is

retained.

NOTE: The bootorder option in the .ini file is applied to a system based on its active

boot list. If the .ini file is generated from a system with the active boot list set as uefi,

and it is applied on a system with the active boot list set as legacy, the boot order is

set only on devices that are available in the system. It is recommended that you

apply the .ini file on a system with the same active boot list as of the system from

where the .ini file is generated.

Example

C:\>cctk -o <c:/cctk>/logfile

--propowntag

Description

property ownership tag.
