Directive Syntax

Directive syntax

Directives are case insensitive. The format of a directive is one of:

  • [[NO]directiveName[ =directiveSetting]
  • [NO]directiveName[ (directiveSetting)]
  • [NO]directiveName[ “directiveSetting”]
  • [NO]directiveName[ ‘directiveSetting’]

Note

On Windows double quotes on command lines must be escaped by a backslash character.

On a command line a directive must be preceded by one or two hyphens with no whitespace between the hyphen(s) and the directive.
