RTX Command Line Utilities
This document describes
There are several occasions when it is important to know which version of an RTX application you are running. Examples of such occasions might be:
At other times it is useful to obtain help for the various command-line options associated with a particular program.
For almost all of the RTX command line applications, executing the application followed by a '?', '/?' or '/help' will display the program's version/revision, the date associated with the version/revision followed by a detailed explanation for each of the command-line options supported by the program. This explanation is also accompanied by a brief synopsis of the program.
The following list gives the applications which support this feature:
