Command sets comparison
The tables in this section compare the facilities available for AIX®, Linux®, and Windows from the different administration command sets, and also show whether you can perform each function by using the IBM MQ Explorer or REST API.
How to read syntax diagrams
The syntax for a command and its options is presented in the form of a syntax diagram, also known as a railroad diagram. A syntax diagram is a visual format suitable for sighted users. It tells you what options you can supply with the command, and how to enter them. It indicates relationships between different options, and sometimes different values for an option.

MQSC commands reference
Use MQSC commands to help you manage queue manager objects, including the queue manager itself, queues, process definitions, channels, client connection channels, listeners, services, namelists, clusters, and authentication information objects.
Programmable command formats (PCFs) reference
PCFs define command and reply messages that can be exchanged across a network between a program and any queue manager that supports PCFs. This simplifies queue manager administration and other network administration.
