na Commands
Command Notation
Interactive na sessions allow you to enter na commands with or without arguments or parameters.
If you enter the command without arguments or parameters, na prompts for them. The conventions
for an interactive session are:
• You can abbreviate commands and parameter names to the minimum number of characters
that uniquely distinguish the name from any other name that may appear in the same context.
• Type a new-line character to end a command entry. To continue an entry onto the next line,
type a backslash (\) character immediately preceding the new-line character.
• To enter a space as an argument, enclose it in double quotes (" "); otherwise the space is
assumed to be a delimiter.
• The UNIX interrupt character (usually
CTRL-C
) returns you to the command prompt.
Additionally, na permits comments when the # character is present at the beginning of a comment line.
All characters between the # and the next new line are ignored. Table C1-1 describes the supported
arguments for na.
