Manual Page Command Syntax
Unless otherwise noted, commands described in the SYNOPSIS
section of a manual page accept options and other arguments
according to the following syntax and should be interpreted
as explained below.
name [-option...] [cmdarg...] where:
[ ] Surround an option or cmdarg that is not required.
... Indicates multiple occurrences of the option or
cmdarg.
name The name of an executable file.
{ } The options and/or arguments enclosed within braces
are interdependent, such that everything enclosed must
be treated as a unit.
option
(Always preceded by a "-".) noargletter... or,
argletter optarg[,...]
noargletter
A single letter representing an option without an
option-argument. Note that more than one noargletter
option can be grouped after one "-" (Rule 5, below).
argletter
A single letter representing an option requiring an
option-argument.
optarg
An option-argument (character string) satisfying a
preceding argletter. Note that groups of optargs fol-
lowing an argletter must be separated by commas, or
separated by a tab or space character and quoted (Rule
8, below).
cmdarg
Path name (or other command argument) not beginning
with "-", or "-" by itself indicating the standard
input.
Command Syntax Standard: Rules
These command syntax rules are not followed by all current
commands, but all new commands will obey them. getopts(1)
should be used by all shell procedures to parse positional
parameters and to check for legal options. It supports
Rules 3-10 below. The enforcement of the other rules must be
done by the command itself.
1. Command names (name above) must be between two and nine
characters long.
2. Command names must include only lower-case letters and
digits.
3. Option names (option above) must be one character long.
4. All options must be preceded by "-".
5. Options with no arguments may be grouped after a single
"-".
6. The first option-argument (optarg above) following an
option must be preceded by a tab or space character.
7. Option-arguments cannot be optional.
8. Groups of option-arguments following an option must
either be separated by commas or separated by tab or
space character and quoted (-o xxx,z,yy or - o "xxx z
yy").
9. All options must precede operands (cmdarg above) on the
command line.
10.
"--" may be used to indicate the end of the options.
11.
The order of the options relative to one another should
not matter.
12.
The relative order of the operands (cmdarg above) may
affect their significance in ways determined by the com-
mand with which they appear.
13.
"-" preceded and followed by a space character should
only be used to mean standard input.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a discussion of the attributes listed
in this section.

butes(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
Upon termination, each command returns two bytes of status,
one supplied by the system and giving the cause for termina-
tion, and (in the case of "normal" termination) one supplied
by the program [see wait(3UCB) and exit(2)]. The former byte
is 0 for normal termination; the latter is customarily 0 for
successful execution and non-zero to indicate troubles such
as erroneous parameters, or bad or inaccessible data. It is
called variously "exit code", "exit status", or "return
code", and is described only where special conventions are
involved.
WARNINGS
Some commands produce unexpected results when processing
files containing null characters. These commands often treat
text input lines as strings and therefore become confused
upon encountering a null character (the string terminator)
within a line.
