portName

-n name
Specifies the name to be assigned to the ports. The port name is a character
string up to 128 characters, including spaces and characters, and excluding
commas (,), semicolons (;), backlashes (\), and the at sign (@). To erase a port
name, specify this operand as an empty string in double-quotation marks. If the
name includes spaces it must be included in double quotation marks. This
operand is optional; if omitted, the current port name is displayed.
Some characters require a qualifier or double quotation marks when used with a
bash shell; for example, enter a single quotation mark as \', enter an exclamation
mark as \!, or enter a pipe (|) as "|".
-h
