3.4  Command Parameters

Note


With the new common syntax, command parameters can be abbreviated. You only need to enter the minimum number of characters required to uniquely identify the parameter. For example, input can be abbreviated as inp and outhtml can be abbreviated as outh.


Parameters are used to specify binary log files for processing, designate output files, and create filters. In most cases, SEA allows you to specify parameters in any order (the new common syntax sum command is an exception, see Section 3.7 for details). For example, the following commands using the new common syntax are equivalent:

wsea tra inp myinput.zpd out myoutput.txt index=start:10 brief
wsea brief index=start:10 out myoutput.txt inp myinput.zpd tra

Notice that even the placement of the command verb (tra in this case) may be changed.
