commands function regardless of the current specified path.
Figure 27 The Correct Use of Colons and Semicolons
Command Abbreviations
Abbreviations can be used for some commands. This manual does not use
abbreviations for commands when describing them. However, the letters that are
used in the abbreviation of the command appear in uppercase, and the letters that
must be omitted to form the abbreviation appear in lowercase.
For example, this manual indicates that the abbreviation of the command
:SYSTEM
is
:SYST
by showing it as
:SYSTem
. (Abbreviations such as
:SYSTE
are not valid.)
R
Returns the current path to root.
D Causes the current path to branch one level down.
N
Does not change the specification of the current path.
