Synopsis

Lists the contents of datafiles using the CIAO tool dmlist.

Syntax

chips> LIST <filename> [<dm_list_parameter_specifications> [| <arg>]]

Description

In addition to the <filename>, the input may specify the dmlist option parameter (<dm_list_parameter_specifications>) and any pipe-supporting Unix command (<arg>, e.g. less).

For more information, see "ahelp dmlist".

Example 1
