In the documentation, the syntax of commands is described using variables. Variables in the documentation are indicated by angled brackets: <variable>

Example Example

The syntax of the db_create command is described in the documentation as follows:

dbmcli db_create <database_name> <dbm_operator>,<dbm_operator_password>

To execute the DBM command, enter values in place of the variables <database_name>, <dbm_operator>, <dbm_operator_password>, for example:

dbmcli db_create DEMODB DBM,DBM

End of the example.

The following table lists the most commonly used variables and example values for them.
