argfile

Executes one or more EM CLI verbs, where both verbs and the associated arguments are contained in an ASCII file. argfile enables you to use verbs with greater flexibility. For example, when specifying a large list of targets to be blacked out (create_blackout verb), you can use the argfile verb to input the target list from a file.

Multiple EM CLI verb invocations are permitted in this file. You should separate each verb invocation with a new line.

      [-delim=<delimiter_string>]

Options
