Diagnostic Command Argument information. It contains the description of one parameter of the diagnostic command. A parameter can either be an option or an argument. Options are identified by the option name while arguments are identified by their position in the command line. The generic syntax of a diagnostic command is:
<command name> [<option>=<value>] [<argument_value>]
Example:
command_name option1=value1 option2=value argumentA argumentB argumentC
In this command line, the diagnostic command receives five parameters, two options named option1 and option2, and three arguments. argumentA's position is 0, argumentB's position is 1 and argumentC's position is 2.
Since:8
