Quick Reference Guide

Command Syntax Overview 19
The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified
file. Each log file 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:
2003/11/28 10:23:17 syscfg -
option1 =on
2003/11/28 10:23:17 syscfg -
option2 =on
2003/11/28 10:23:17 syscfg -
option3 =off
NOTE: The log files may contain sensitive information such as passwords and
authentication information. To protect such information, it is recommended that
only the administrator access the log files.
Help Option
The -h and --help options display general usage information for the utility.
If the argument matches a valid option, that option's usage information is
displayed. If the option has arguments, the arguments are displayed,
separated by a | character. If the argument does not match a valid option,
a usage error is given (and usage information is displayed). This option
cannot be replicated.
Error Checking and Error Messages
The DTK utilities check your commands for correct syntax when you enter
them. When a command is executed successfully, a message displays stating
that your command has been successful. Unrecognized or invalid options and
arguments result in a usage error that displays the DTK utility name and
version along with a short message. For information about the error messages,
see "Messages and Codes."
