The following qualifiers are used in the internal command templates to indicate the type of each argument. Remember that you never type the qualifiers when using arguments - they are merely a clue as to the argument type.
| Qualifier | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
/S |
Switch |
Indicates a switch argument (a Boolean option that can either be on or off). |
/K |
Keyword |
Indicates a value argument (a value must be provided following the argument keyword). |
/O |
Optional |
Indicates an optional argument (can be used either by itself as a switch, or with a following value). |
/N |
Numeric |
The value of the argument must be a number. |
/M |
Multiple |
The argument can accept multiple values (e.g. a list of files). |
/R |
Raw |
The argument accepts a "raw" value. For these arguments, the rest of the command line following the argument name is taken as the value. |
See the Internal Command Arguments page for a full description of the various argument types.
