D.1.2 Usage Rules for Command-Line Utilities

The following rules are general usage guidelines for the command line utilities:

• If you specify only the utility name, it lists all commands, options, and several examples.

• If you do not specify a required password, the utility prompts you for it.

• The -v (verbose) and -q (quiet) options are available for each utility.

• If a command is dangerous (that is, one that could cause a data loss), the utility prompts for confirmation before executing the command. Examples of dangerous commands are cscal, which can delete a calendar, and csuser, which can delete a user. The -q (quiet) option, however, disables confirmation prompting.

• The version command is available for each utility.
