Syntax conventions Description

Syntax conventions	Description
Italic, bold, or `< >`	Syntax diagrams and code samples use one or more of these styles to mark placeholders for variable values. Replace placeholders with a valid option or your own user-defined value. In CQL statements, angle brackets are required to enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma. For example: `<datatype2` In Search CQL statements, angle brackets are used to identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and `solrconfig` files, such as `@<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'`.
`[ ]`	Square brackets surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.
`( )`	Parentheses identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.
`\|`	A pipe separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the pipe.
`...`	Indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.
`'`	Single quotation marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case. + For Search CQL only: Single quotation marks surround an entire XML schema declaration, such as `'<<schema> ... </schema>>'`
`{ }`	Map collection. Curly braces enclose maps (`{ <key_datatype>:<value_datatype> }`) or key value pairs (`{ <key>:<value> }`). A colon separates the key and the value.
`;`	Ends a CQL statement.
`--`	Separate command line options from command arguments with two hyphens. This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.

Italic, bold, or < >

Syntax diagrams and code samples use one or more of these styles to mark placeholders for variable values. Replace placeholders with a valid option or your own user-defined value.

In CQL statements, angle brackets are required to enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma. For example: <datatype2

In Search CQL statements, angle brackets are used to identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrconfig files, such as @<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'.

[ ]

Square brackets surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.

( )

Parentheses identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.

|

A pipe separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the pipe.

...

Indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.

'

Single quotation marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case. + For Search CQL only: Single quotation marks surround an entire XML schema declaration, such as '<<schema> ... </schema>>'

{ }

Map collection. Curly braces enclose maps ({ <key_datatype>:<value_datatype> }) or key value pairs ({ <key>:<value> }). A colon separates the key and the value.

;

Ends a CQL statement.

--

Separate command line options from command arguments with two hyphens. This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.

Options

If an option has a short and long form, both forms are given, separated by a comma.

Include operation logs.

table_name

Table name. Required.

-t, --type type

Type of files:

all - all final and temporary files
