System Command Descriptions
This section contains descriptions for each of the command
programs that are supplied with NitrOS-9. These programs are usually
called using the shell, but can be called from most other NitrOS-9
family programs such as BASIC09, Interactive Debugger, Macro Text
Editor, etc. Unless otherwise noted, these programs are designed to
run as individual processes.
Although many NitrOS-9 commands may work on Level 1 or Level
2 systems, there are differences. Take care not to mix command
files from Level 1 systems on Level 2, or the reverse.
Formal Syntax Notation
Each command description includes a syntax definition which
describes how the command sentence can be constructed. These are
symbolic descriptions that use the following notation:
[ ]
= Brackets indicate that the enclosed item(s) are optional.
&repeatst; &repeaten;
= Braces indicate that the enclosed item(s) can be
either omitted or repeated multiple times.
path
= Represents any legal pathlist.
devname
= Represents any legal device name.
nodname
= Represents any legal memory module name.
procID
= Represents a process number.
opts
= One or more options defined in the command description.
arglist
= a list of arguments (parameters).
text
= a character string terminated by end-of-line.
NOTE: The syntax of the commands given does not include the shell's
built in options such as alternate memory size, I/O redirection,
etc. This is because the shell will filter its options out of the
command line before it is passed to the program being called.
