Recommended syntax is as follows:

  • [ ] identifies an optional argument. Arguments that are not enclosed in brackets are required.
  • ... indicates that you can specify multiple values for the previous argument.
  • | indicates mutually exclusive information. You can use the argument to the left of the separator or the argument to the right of the separator. You cannot use both arguments in a single use of the command.
  • { } delimits a set of mutually exclusive arguments when one of the arguments is required. If the arguments are optional, they are enclosed in brackets ([ ]).
