This section describes the GDE commands. GDE allows abbreviations of commands. The section describing each command provides the minimum abbreviation for that command and a description of any qualifiers that are not object-related. The section discussing the object-type describes all the associated object-related qualifiers.
The general format for GDE commands is:
command [-object-type] [object-name] [-qualifier]
where:
-object-typeIndicates whether the command operates on a -N[AME] space, -R[EGION], or -S[EGMENT].
object-nameSpecifies the name of the N[AME] space, R[EGION], or S[EGMENT]. Objects of different types may have the same name. Name spaces may include the wildcard operator (*) as a suffix.
-qualifierIndicates an object qualifier.
The format description for each individual command specifies required qualifiers for that command.
The @, EXIT, HELP, LOG, QUIT, SETGD, and SPAWN commands do not use this general format. For the applicable format, refer to the section explaining each of these commands.
Comments on the command line may be delimited by an exclamation mark (!).

An exclamation mark not enclosed in quotation marks ("") causes GDE to ignore the rest of that input line. |
