Command Line Interface Reference
The FMA command line interface (FMACLI) provides access to most FMA functions and can be used
instead of the user interface to manage data. The FMACLI is implemented in the FMACLI.exe module. It
writes informational output to stdout and errors to stderr. Keep this in mind when redirecting output for
logging purposes.
This section uses the following typographical conventions:
• Bold is used for command names and arguments in text.
• Monospace is used for command names and arguments in syntax and for code.
• Monospace italic is used for variables within command syntax, code, or command-line text.
• Brackets [ ] and braces { } are used for optional information.
FMA commands
The syntax for FMACLI commands is as follows: FMACLI [command] [command-options].
Use FMACLI or FMACLI --help to list the available commands, which include the following:
