Commands

 

TV commands are printed in a boldfaced sans serife font and formatted in the following manner:

menu > command < argument1 > [ < argument2 > ] < argument3 ... >

menu > command { < argument4 > | < argument5 > }

menu > is the prompt indicating that TV is accepting input in the current menu. The command can be entered complete or in short form as explained later (see section 3.7 p. [*]). Arguments enclosed in brackets [ ] are optional. Three dots after the argument name indicate that a list of arguments of this type may follow. From arguments enclosed in braces { } exactly one must be used. The vertical line (` | ') in the example above means that you can specify argument4 or argument5 (exclusive `or').
