3.3  Command Verbs

Some SEA commands are supported by multiple syntaxes, some are only supported by the new common syntax, and some are syntax independent.

wsea syntax_designator command_verb
wsea command_verb

Note


If you enter the command wsea without any command verb or parameters, SEA defaults to translation. In this case, the system event log is translated and the output is sent to the screen.


Table 3–3 provides an overview of the wsea command verbs available in the new common syntax.
