3.5 Common Options

Common options can be used in combination with any of the system, pair, or policy actions.

3.5.1 Debug

-debug

Displays debug messages.

Syntax

-debug

3.5.2 Output to a File

-of

Dumps certain requests and replies to a file.

Syntax

3.5.3 Silent

-silent

Use this option when you do not want to display errors or help on execution, such as in scripts for batch files where the batch file checks for return codes. This option returns 0 if the command is successful. It returns 1 if the command fails.

If a command fails, you can enter the command at the Administrator Command Prompt console without the ‑silent option to view the error messages.
