Appendix B COMMAND LANGUAGE
Table B-1 allows you to determine the precise syntax requirements of a
command, or to quickly refresh your knowledge of the command language.
The table is helpful to have, particularly during an interactive session,
as a general reference tool. If further clarification is needed, the
page number of a complete explanation of each command is provided.
