Parameter file

The CLI can read additional command parameters from a file. This can be useful especially for connection parameters that do not change, or if the command line is too short to specify all required parameters. This file must be specified as

–file file

The file will be interpreted as a list of specified parameters prior to all other parameters in the command line.

The -file option is not designed to contain multiple commands; only additional parameters for a single command can be specified.

Lines beginning with # in such a file are interpreted as comments and therefore ignored.

The –file option is not mentioned in the syntax diagrams of the individual commands.
