16 Command Syntax Overview
NOTE: Options that specify report or set actions should not be mixed in a command
line instance.
NOTE: Example 2 is invalid because the report and set actions are used in the
same command line.
NOTE: Examples 3, 4, and 5 are valid because the aliases use neither report nor
set actions.
Read and Write Commands
Options can report a certain value or set of values based on the presence of an
argument. These read or write actions are implied in the DTK command line
arguments. The get, read, set, or write commands, for example, are not required.
NOTE: Options that specify read or write actions should not be mixed in a
command line instance.
