HP StorageWorks P9000 Tiered Storage Manager Software 7.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB585-96011, May 2011)

Options common to all CLI commands
There are two kinds of options: those used for all CLI commands, and those used for only some CLI
commands. This subsection describes the options used for all CLI commands.
If an argument needs to be specified after an option, specify the argument as a single character string.
Arguments that contain spaces should be enclosed in quotation marks, or whatever is appropriate
for the command execution environment. For example:
--output "C:\My Documents\redirect.txt"
The following table lists options common to all commands.
