2 Using the Command Line Utility
This chapter explains how to use the command line utility interactively or in batch mode. With interactive
mode, enter commands at the prompt. In batch mode, create scripts and run the script in the appropriate
shell, as described in the table below.

In either mode, if your command fails, you immediately see an error message of Command failed. Other
script messages that you can get are Command completed successfully, or Command aborted.
The return values for each command are the same:
0x00: SUCCESS
0x01: FAILURE - The requested command failed
0x02: ABORT - The command was aborted because parameters failed
validation
0x03: INVALID_ARGUMENTS - The arguments are incorrect. (Displays COMMAND
