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: You cannot combine options that specify read or write actions in a command line instance.
Table 6. Read and Write Command Examples
Valid/Invalid DTK Command Line Example
valid
syscfg --option1 --option2
valid
syscfg --option1=arg --option2=arg
invalid
syscfg --option1=arg --option2
File Input And Output Commands
• Specify the le input using the -i <filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the input le.
• Specify the le output using the -o <filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the output le.
Log Files
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 the -l option to record the output of a utility.
The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specied 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:
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 les may contain sensitive information such as passwords and authentication information. To protect such
information, it is recommended that only the administrator accesses the log les.
Help Option
The -h and --help options display general usage information for the utility. If the argument matches a valid option, that usage
information of the option 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.
