(Command line options) (Optionscommand line) This appendix describes the KED command line options. (Command Options)

The following are the supported EDIT command options. Each option is followed by an operation description. (/COMMAND) The default, executes initialization file KEDINI.KED. If that file does not exist, KED does not report an error. (/COMMAND:init-filespec) Executes specified initialization file. If init-filespec does not exist, KED reports an error. (/JOURNAL) Produces a journal file that will let you recover your work after a system crash or similar malfunction. The file name of the journal file will be the name of your output file; the file type will be JOU. (/JOURNAL:jour-filespec) Specifies a different file specification for the journal file. You can type the file name or the file name and file type. If you type just the file name, the file type will be JOU. (/JOURNAL:jour-filespec/RECOVER:jour-filespec) Recovers the work you performed and produces another journal file that will contain the work you recovered and any additional work you might perform. (/JOURNAL/RECOVER) Same as above. (/NOCOMMAND) Suppresses initialization file processing. (/NOQUERY) Suppresses any queries that could be generated by commands in an initialization file. (/OUTPUT:filespec) Specifies a new file to contain the output of your work session. Keeps the original text in your input file. (/QUERY) The default, does not suppress queries that could be generated by commands in an initialization file. (/RECOVER) Uses the journal file with the default file specification to produce a text file that will contain the work you performed. You can then continue your work session or end it with a KED EXIT command. (/RECOVER:jour-filespec) Uses the journal file with the file specification you specified to produce a text file that will contain the work you performed.

You cannot use: (simple) /JOURNAL with the /INSPECT or /READONLY file specification option /OUTPUT with the /CREATE file specification option /RECOVER with the /INSPECT or /READONLY file specification option (File Specification Options)

The following are the supported EDIT command options for file specifications. Each option is followed by an operation description. (/ALLOCATE:size) Specifies a maximum output file size in number of blocks. The largest number allowed is 32767. (/CREATE) Creates a new file that you can edit. (/INSPECT) Lets you inspect, not edit, an existing file. You can use some of the KED functions and commands to move around inside that file and to create auxiliary output files. (/READONLY) Same as above.

You cannot use: (simple) /CREATE with the /OUTPUT command option /INSPECT with the /JOURNAL or /RECOVER command option /READONLY with the /JOURNAL or /RECOVER command option
