Long Command-Line Examples

The examples in this guide use the convention of a backslash (\) to indicate that a long command line continues on the next line.

The following two commands are equivalent. The first command is too long to fit on a single line, so it is continued on the next line. The second example, which uses short forms for the options, fits on one line.

On UNIX, the command line might look like:

cdr define server --connect=katmandu --idle=500 \
   --ats=/cdrfiles/ats 

cdr def ser -c katmandu -i 500 -A /cdrfiles/ats

On Windows, these command lines might look like:

cdr define server --connect=honolulu --idle=500 \
   --ats=D:\cdrfiles\ats 

cdr def ser -c honolulu -i 500 -A D:\cdr\ats
