1 A command line is a line containing a "command" and any "arguments" that 2 go with the command, each separated by one or more blank spaces. It is always 3 concluded by a carriage return. For example: 4 5 list my_segment -name 6 7 is a command line. It invokes the list command to list the "pathname" 8 my_segment. It uses the "control argument" -name to specify that only the 9 names assigned to my_segment are to be listed and none of the other 10 information that is normally listed. 11 12 When a command takes several arguments, the order in which the arguments 13 are typed is often significant. Normally, pathname arguments follow 14 immediately after the command name and control arguments follow them. But 15 there are exceptions. Then there are commands that accept more than one 16 pathname, and the order in which they appear is usually significant. There 17 are also other types of arguments that may appear on a command line, and these 18 must be placed properly. For these reasons it is wise to check the command 19 description when you are uncertain about the order of arguments for a command. 20 21 A command line may consist of more than one command. See the Multiple 22 Commands option in this menu.
