Command syntax

All commands have the following top-level syntax options:

-h: Displays help. You can also enter -help.
-rev: Displays the software revision level. You can also enter -V.
-hc: Displays help for the subcommand (if the command has subcommands).

For many Netezza Performance Server CLI commands you can specify a timeout. This time is the amount of time the system waits before it abandons the execution of the command. If you specify a timeout without a value, the system waits 300 seconds. The maximum timeout value is 100 million seconds.
