Special Characters

If a parameter value has a space or a special character, close the value in straight quotation marks (" ").

The exclamation mark (!) is not a valid character even in quotes. To use it, you must protect it with a backward slash: \!.

Local components may have names with the forward slash (/). For example, you could create a category of Configuration files called "/etc", to show that these files have target installations in the /etc directory. In the CLI commands, when you use a component that has / in its name, protect it with a backslash (\), so that the CLI can identify it as part of a string rather than a path.

For example, say that you have a category named /etc, a file declaration named /etc/hosts, and a file version called /etc/hosts-5 in the Local components list.

The CLI requires that you refer to this hierarchy as the following:

ROOT/Local/Configuration files/\/etc/\/etc\/hosts/\/etc\/hosts-5
