1 CLI Command Syntax and Conventions
This chapter describes the command syntax for the HP 3PAR OS CLI commands listed in this
reference. General control commands that do not follow the syntax rules are also listed as well
as glob-style patterns.
Syntax and Conventions
Most CLI commands use the following syntax.
[cmd [subcmd] [options [arg]]... [<spec>...] [<pattern>...]
Table 1 (page 11) Lists all syntax elements and provides their meanings:
Table 1 CLI Command Syntax

for commands to be executed.

The argument is often used to identify a specific node,
volume, or disk.

element such as the command or option.

separated by this character can be specified at a time.

only the information inside the brackets.

Syntax Rules
The command syntax in the table above obeys the following rules:
All command line elements are in lowercase letters, except where indicated in this reference.
Subcommands immediately follow the commands they modify.
Options, as indicated in this guide, are indicated by one or more letters, are preceded by a
hyphen, and are enclosed in brackets (for example: removealert [a]).
Options follow subcommands on the command line and precede any specifier.
