Command line syntax
The general usage models of the Dell Command | Configure utilities are as follows:
CCTK --option1=[arg1]
or
cctk --option1=[arg1]...--optionX=[argX]
NOTE: Some of the options in Dell Command | Configure are followed by an asterisk. You can use such options only for
reporting purposes and cannot use the reporting options with set options.
The following table lists the generic command line characters and arguments present in the command line options with a short
description of these characters.
Table 1. Command line characters and arguments
Element Description
- Prefix single-character options.
-- Prefix multi-character options.
utilname Indicates the generic designation for a Dell Command | Configure utility name.
-o Indicates the generic single-character designation for an option.
optionX Indicates the generic multi-character designation for a utility name, where you can use X to
distinguish multiple options used in the same command line instance.
argX Indicates the generic designation for an argument, where you can use X to distinguish multiple
arguments used in the same command line instance.
[mandatory option] Indicates the generic designation for a mandatory argument.
<string> Indicates the generic designation for a string.
<filename> Indicates the generic designation for a filename.
[ ] Indicates a component of the command line. Enter only the information within the brackets and
exclude the brackets.
... Indicates that the previous argument can be repeated several times in a command. Enter only the
information within the ellipses and exclude the ellipses.
|
Separates mutually exclusive choices in a syntax line. For example:
numlock: Turns the keyboard number lock on or off.
Arguments: on+ | off+
Enter only one choice: --numlock=on, --numlock= off

Command line options and user-defined arguments are case insensitive. Unless specified otherwise, enter all commands, options,
arguments, and command line switches in lowercase letters.
Command line option delimiter
The following table lists some examples of valid and invalid Dell Command | Configure command line options.

Table 3. Examples of command line options for systems running Linux
Dell Command | Configure Command Line Example

Read and write options
You cannot combine the options that specify read and write actions in a command line instance. The following table provides
examples for read and write commands.
Using command-line interface for Dell Command | Configure 4.3
19
Table 4. Read and write options
Valid or Invalid Example
valid
cctk --option1 --option2
valid
cctk --option1=arg --option2=arg
NOTE: You have to provide the setup password, if it is already set on the
system.
invalid
cctk --option1=arg --option2
File input and output commands
Specify the input file using the -i=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the input file. Specify the
output file input using the o=<filename> command, where <filename> is the name of the output file.
LogFile
The -l=<filename> or --logfile=<filename> option records information output on the command line to the specified
log file.
If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record
information. Use this option to record the output of a utility.
The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with a time stamp and
utility name. For example:
YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS <utilname> - <output text>
The following is an example of the logging behavior:
2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option1= on
2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option2= on
2010/05/16 10:23:17 cctk - option3= off
Error checking and error messages
The Dell Command | Configure utilities check your commands for correct syntax when they are entered. Unrecognized or invalid
options and arguments result is displayed in a usage error message that contains the Dell Command | Configure utility name,
version, and the list of Dell Command | Configure options.
