Tivoli command syntax

The following special characters define Tivoli command syntax:

[ ]
Identifies elements that are optional. Those not enclosed in brackets are required.
...
Indicates that you can specify multiple values for the previous element. Separate multiple values by a space, unless otherwise directed by a command's information.

If the ellipsis for an element follows a closing bracket, use the syntax within the brackets to specify multiple values. For example, to specify two administrators for the option [-a admin]..., use -a admin1 -a admin2.

If the ellipses for an element is within the brackets, use the syntax of the last element to specify multiple values. For example, to specify two hosts for the option [-h host ...], use -h host host2.

|
Indicates mutually exclusive information. You can use the element on either the left or right of the vertical bar.
'{ }'
Delimits a set of mutually exclusive elements when one of them is required. If the elements are optional, they are enclosed in brackets ([ ]).

In addition to the special characters, the typeface conventions described in the Preface are used.
