<p class="noindent">Notes:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The CLI commands are still handled by the <span class="sc">mi</span> interpreter; their
|
|
output is described below.
|
|
|
|
<li>The <var>token</var>, when present, is passed back when the command
|
|
finishes.
|
|
|
|
<li>Some <span class="sc">mi</span> commands accept optional arguments as part of the parameter
|
|
list. Each option is identified by a leading ‘<samp><span class="samp">-</span></samp>’ (dash) and may be
|
|
followed by an optional argument parameter. Options occur first in the
|
|
parameter list and can be delimited from normal parameters using
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">--</span></samp>’ (this is useful when some parameters begin with a dash).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Pragmatics:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>We want easy access to the existing CLI syntax (for debugging).
|
|
|
|
<li>We want it to be easy to spot a <span class="sc">mi</span> operation.
|
|
</ul>
