Table 11-2
Attribute or Action
Up to 255 characters, not including the terminating carriage
return or any characters deleted as the command is
entered. A command longer than 80 characters and without
the backslash character causes display of an error
message.
Upper- or lowercase characters can be used for input.
Characters are displayed in the case in which they are
entered.
Only by dropping characters from the end of words. You
must enter the minimum number of characters to identify
the keyword unambiguously. Abbreviation of environment
variables is allowed with the show command.
You can use command options, to modify the environment,
after the command keyword or after any symbol or number
in the command. See individual command descriptions for
examples.
Most numbers in console commands are in decimal
notation. Two exceptions, both of which use hexadecimal
notation, are addresses and numbers used in the deposit
command. The default radix can be overridden by inserting
%d before numbers you want to express in decimal, %b
before binary, %o before octal, or %x before hexadecimal.
Register names (for example, R0) are not considered
numbers and use decimal notation.
A command line with no characters is a null command. The
console program takes no action and does not issue an error
message; it returns the console prompt. The console
supports command line recall and editing.
Multiple adjacent spaces and tabs are compressed and
treated as a single space. The console program ignores
leading and trailing spaces.
