Options

When you enter options with a command, always precede the option with a dash (–). Do not put a space between the dash and the option name.

Enter more than one option in any order in a command before or after the file specification. Separate multiple options with a blank space.

There are two groups of options that you can use with commands: Client options (set in your options file), or client command options (used on the command line).

• Client options: The group of options that are set in your client options file. You can override an option in the client options file when you enter the option with a command on the command line.
• Client command options: Use a client command option only when you enter the option with a command on the command line. You cannot set these options in an options file.
