This topic is a list of network services that can be started. It is not a NET command. .1 SYNTAX :1 The following conventions are used to indicate command syntax: ■ Capital letters represent words that must be typed as shown. Lower- case letters represent names of items that may vary, such as filenames. ■ The [ and ] characters surround optional items that can be supplied with the command. ■ The { and } characters surround lists of items. You must supply one of the items with the command. ■ The | character separates items in a list. Only one of the items can be supplied with the command. For example, in the following syntax, you must type NET COMMAND and either SWITCH1 or SWITCH2. Supplying a name is optional. NET COMMAND [name] {SWITCH1 | SWITCH2} ■ The [...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item. Separate items with spaces. ■ The [,...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item, but you must separate items with commas or semicolons, not spaces. #1 $1 There are no options for this topic.

A path can consist of a devicename and one or more directory names. A backslash (\) precedes each directory name (for example, C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\ACCT). Pathname A path and a filename. The filename is preceded by a backslash (\) (for example, C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\REPORT.DOC). Sharename A name that identifies a shared resource on a server. A sharename is used with the server's computername to form a network path (as in \\SERVER\RESOURCE). Username The name a person supplies when logging on at a workstation. To view these definitions one screen at a time, type NET HELP NAMES | MORE. #1 $1 There are no options for this topic. This is a help topic about the different types of names Windows NT uses. It is not a NET command. :0 #0 /* This is how this file works. NET HELP looks for a match between the command specified at run time and one of the entries in this file. For each entry in this file there can be associated with it a subentry, which constitutes an switch for that command (or sub-command). HELP (NET HELP) first searches for a match at level 1. If it finds a match at this level it continues searching for a sub-level (if one was specified at run time). As HELP finds matches it displays them , by doing so it builds the command in it's proper syntax. If no sub commands were entered at run time HELP stops and displays the help associated with that level. SOME RULES: Operators are the funny 2 character symbols that start every line - they are the characters !, %, ., :, and # followed by a alphanumeric character. Every operator must start in column 1. Every operator must be separated from the info that follows it by at least one space. The end of every line must contain a newline. (Trailing spaces will causes matches to fail on ".X" entries.) Every ".1" entry MUST have a corresponding "#1" entry. This file consists of 4 sections. These sections are ... COMMENTS are delimited by a "/*" at the beginning of a line (must start in column 1) indicating the beginning of the comment section. A "*/" at the beginning of a line marks the end of the comment sec- tion. Only two comment section are allowed, one at the very be- ginning of the file and one at the very end. It is recommended that the comment section at the beginning of the file be kept very small to minimize access time to "help data" by the help command. ALIASES are defined by a "%A" beginning in column 1. Aliases allow you to define another name for a given command. For example if you wish to change the name of the "ALERTER" to "WATCHDOG" you could do so by entering the line, %A ALERTER: WATCHDOG starting at column 1. If there are additional Aliases they should be specified on the same line separated by commas. This tells the help command that if someone types "net help watchdog" they really mean "net help alerter." Trailing spaces are significant (for this release) in alias names. Beware! COMMANDS are additional commands that you want NET HELP to document. They are defined by placing !C operator (yes starting in column 1) followed by the command name on a separate line. An example of this is the AT commands. This is not really NET commands but you can get help on it through NET by entering it with the COMMANDS section in this file. For example if you want to get help on your PHONE command that you wrote and the only help utility you have is the NET HELP utility. To add phone to this utility you must place the following line in the Commands section of this file, !C PHONE starting in column 1. Now all that remains is to add the PHONE help data to the DATA section of this file. (See DATA below) (YES, you can assign aliases to commands that you declare in this section. But you must assign the aliases in the alias section first.) DATA is the actual text that gets printed when you request help. The format for the data section is set up in a way such that the NET HELP command picks up information about a command as it reads through this file. The format of the data section is as follows; The Command Name (this is the proper name used to reference a specific command - any other name used to access this command should be entered in the alias list above) should be preceded by a ".1". This defines that this Command Name would normally be the first thing typed when entering the command. An example of a ".1" Command Name would be NET. When HELP finds this entry, it knows what follows pertains to the NET command. What follows this ".1" entry can be one of 2 possible fields. The syntax operator ":1" or a sub switch operator ".2". Another option of the NET command could follow. If, as it does, the NET command has many options that can be specified, they should be enumerated on separate lines. Each level of help for a specific command constitutes a higher "dot number". I think an example would make this clearer. Lets look at a help entry for the NET START command. The NET START command has additional options. NET START [SERVER WORKSTATION ALERTER ...etc]. In this example NET is the ".1" entry, START is a ".2" entry and SERVER, WKSTA, and ALERTER are all ".3" entries. .1 NET .2 START .3 SERVER .3 ALERTER .3 WORKSTATION In the example above I indented each level, this helps you visualize what's going on and is legal to do as long as the .X starts in column 1. This is all fine and well but what about the help for NET START SERVER. As stated before HELP allows two levels of assistance , Syntax and Help. You may choose to have the help be the same for all NET START options but obviously want different syntax displayed for each option. In order to do this you must place the help for any option (or sub-option) in the file prior to the help for the actual command. Sticking with our original example, lets assume that the SERVER and the WORKSTATION have enough in common that they want to share the same help message, but the alerter has some different information. We can accomplish this by specifying syntax, but no help for the SERVER and WORKSTATION options and specifying both for the ALERTER. .1 NET .2 START .3 SERVER (Syntax) :3 /Security /Autodisconnect ...etc .3 ALERTER (Syntax) :3 (Help) #3 The alerter is the service that bla bla bla...etc .3 WORKSTATION (Syntax) :3 /Computername /Chartime ...etc (Syntax) :2 (Help) #2 This is the help for NET START bla ... etc In the example above you will note a couple of things. First, I introduced two new operators ":" and "#". As indicated by the parentheses the ":" operator defines syntax data and "#" defines help data. Secondly, you may have noticed there were no syntax entries for the NET START ALERTER or NET START. In the case of NET START ALERTER, there may be no more syntax to be specified, since HELP generates the syntax as it reads the entries. In the case of NET START, leaving the syntax field blank, tells HELP to generate an option lists for the START command from the .3 entries found contained in the START section. If however, syntax information would have been placed there, HELP would have displayed the supplied information. This behavior can be expanded to 8 levels of sub-options. All level 1 (".1") entries must have a help ("#1") entry. The end of the data section must be marked by the following lines, :0 #0 beginning in column 1. There can be no more than 512 characters in the option field including the spaces between the options and the brackets. White space following the ".X" operators is ignored, white space following the ":X" and "#X" operators is printed exactly as entered. If data is entered on the next line following the syntax or help operators it is printed as entered, except that the first three columns are always ignored. */
