ADT -help

The ADT -help command displays a terse reminder of the command-line options:

adt -help

The help output uses the following symbolic conventions:

  • <> — items between angle brackets indicate information that you must provide.

  • () — items within parentheses indicate options that are treated as a group in the help command output.

  • ALL_CAPS — items spelled out in capital letters indicate a set of options that is described separately.

  • | — OR. For example, ( A | B ), means item A or item B.

  • ? — 0 or 1. A question mark following an item indicates that an item is optional and that only one instance can occur, if used.

  • * — 0 or more. An asterisk following an item indicates that an item is optional and that any number of instances can occur.

  • + — 1 or more. A plus sign following an item indicates that an item is required and that multiple instances can occur.

  • no symbol — If an item has no suffix symbol, then that item is required and only one instance can occur.
