• Brackets, [ ], around values indicate that they are optional. Here,
they mean that you do not have to enter any of the available pdmod
flags with the pdmod command.
• Braces, { }, around values indicate required items that you must
supply with the command. Here, they mean that you must enter
either a LocalJobId or a GlobalJobId with the pdmod command.
Braces are also used within the notification-profile attribute.
• A vertical bar, |, between values indicates that you can only enter one
of the values with the command. Here, it means that when you issue
the pdmod command, you can specify either a LocalJobId or a
GlobalJobId, but not both.
• An ellipsis, …, indicates that you can supply more than one
occurrence of a particular type of value with the command. Here, it
means that you can supply more than one local job identifier value or
more than one global job identifier value with the pdmod command.
Special Characters in
Syntax
Some special characters are included in commands. When colons, dashes,
the equals sign, double quotation marks, single quotation marks, and
braces are shown in command syntax notation, include them when you
issue the command. These special characters have the following
meanings:
• A colon, :, separates related values. For example:
pdmod -x "sides=2" Spool12:1011230045
Spool12:1011230045 is a global job identifier on the Spool12
server.
• A dash, -, always precedes a flag. For example, -x.
• The equals sign, =, separates attribute and value pairs. For example:
pdmod -x "sides=2" Spool12:1011230045
means that 2 is the value assigned to the sides attribute.
• Double quotation marks, " ", surround multiple attribute and value
pairs, such as:
-x "sides=2 content-orientation=portrait"
For consistency, double quotation marks also are shown around single
attribute and value pairs in all examples, although they are not
required.
