Usage
channel.pattern.snapshot(name)
name
A string representing the name to associate with the present state of channels
Details
This command stores the image of presently closed channels and associates them with the
name
parameter in
memory.
If
name
is already used for an existing channel pattern, that pattern is overwritten with the new pattern channel
image (if no errors occur). The previous image associated with the
name
is lost.
An error is generated if:
•
The
name
parameter already exists as a label
•
Insufficient memory exists to save the channel pattern and name in persistent memory
•
The pattern name exceeds 19 characters or contains a space
