<Argument> element

Edit online

Syntax

Parent element: <Get>, <Set>, <Diff>, <PrereqDef>, <Prereq>, <PropertyDef>, <Property>

Usage

The content of the <Argument> element is expanded as described in section Expansion of command line elements and combined with the <Command> and or the <Stdin> elements to form a complete command line. See section Command line generation for more details.

Some characters often found in shell expressions, such as <, > and & are not allowed in XML documents. These characters must be replaced by the corresponding XML entity:

Table 1. XML entities
Character XML entity
< &lt;
> &gt;
& &amp;

Alternatively, a CDATA section can be used if the expression contains many of such characters. CDATA sections start with <![CDATA[ and ends with ]]>.

Example

The vmoParam.xml catalog uses the <Argument> element to add an argument to the vmo command for each vmo parameter in the profile:
<CfgMethod id="vmo">
  <Set type="permanent">
    <Command>/usr/sbin/vmo -p%a</Command>
    <Argument> -o %n=%v1</Argument>
  </Set>
</CfgMethod>
