The following qualifiers are used in the internal command templates to indicate the type of each argument. Remember that you never type the qualifiers when using arguments - they are merely a clue as to the argument type.
Qualifier
Type
Description
/S
Switch
Indicates a switch argument (a Boolean option that can either be on or off).
/K
Keyword
Indicates a value argument (a value must be provided following the argument keyword).
/O
Optional
Indicates an optional argument (can be used either by itself, as a switch, or with a following value).
/N
Numeric
The value of the argument must be a number.
/M
Multiple
The argument can accept multiple values (e.g. a list of files).
/R
Raw
The argument accepts a "raw" value. For these arguments, the rest of the command line following the argument name is taken as the value.
Arguments of this type are the only ones that do not require quotes around values which contain spaces.
See the Internal Command Arguments page for a full description of the various argument types.
