General Command Syntax

This section describes the general syntax of the ACSLS commands. The following sections fully describe each command, including its syntax.

ACSLS commands use the following general syntax:

command type identifier state options

Where:

type identifier

is the ACS component and its identifier; see Component Types and Identifiers for more information.

• state

  is a device state for the vary command only.

• options

  are command options; see the description of the command you want to run.

  Note the following syntax rules:

• Enter commands in the order shown above (command name, followed by the component and its identifier, the state and any options).

• This chapter shows commands in lowercase, but you can enter commands in any combination of lowercase and uppercase letters.

• Underlines show minimum abbreviations for commands and keywords. For example, query server and q ser are both valid forms of the query server command.

• Ellipses (...) indicate that you can repeat an identifier.

• Brackets [ ] enclose optional options.
