General Usage Notes

 
  • When using the Linux version of TBOSDT, options are specified with a "-" instead of a "/".
  • Where applicable, TBOSDT commands support the use of wildcard characters "*" and "?".
  • Some commands, such as those that directly access hard drives, will require root/admin privileges.
  • When running from a .RUN script, confirmation options, such as /y for the DEL FILE and COPY FILE commands, are not required to avoid a confirmation prompt.
  • Many of the commands can be executed by using one or more alternate syntax variations. All available syntax variations for each command are listed in the TBOSDT help text, as well as in the command reference tables in this document.
  • Paths to files and directories should use the same separator character that is native to the OS in use; "\" for DOS and Windows, and "/" for Linux.
