The taratddsmc utility uses these commands:
- DELete Backup <pathname> [generation]
- DELete OBJect <pathname> <generation> <segname>
- FORMAT <formatstring>
- HELP <command-type>
- INActivate BAckup <pathname>
- INActivate OBJect <pathname> <segname>
- PROMPT [ ON | OFF ]
- QueRY BAckup <pathname> [generation] [formatstring]
- QueRY OBJect <pathname> [generation] [segname] [formatstring]
- QueRY TSM
- QUIT
The commands follow the rules described in Syntax Rules, plus the following syntax and semantics:
- Uppercase letters denote the shortest acceptable abbreviation of a command.
For example, express QueRY as QUERY, QRY, or Q. Commands that are entirely uppercase cannot be abbreviated.
- Formatstring means that a quoted string value is expected.
- Name means that a name value is expected using general syntax rules.
- Commands are not case-sensitive.
In the next example, the user-supplied namepattern is required, but the gen and formatstring tokens are optional. The number of blanks or white space characters between keywords and tokens does not matter as long as the entire command is on a single line:
QueRY BAckup namepattern [ gen ] [ formatstring ]Add comment lines in scripts by putting an asterisk (*) as the first non-blank character on a line. All-blank lines are echoed to the output stream.
