Rules for Specifying Command Line Parameters

Command line parameters for BarTender consist of a slash or space, followed by one or more letters that specify the desired command, sometimes followed by an equals sign and additional data. When you have multiple parameters on a command line, they may be separated by any of the following:

• A space followed by a forward slash (recommended).

• A forward slash.

• A space.

Regardless of the combination of spaces and slashes used, no spaces are permitted within the parameters, only between the parameters. However, newer versions of Windows allow the use of spaces in folder and file names. For additional information, see Using Spaces in File Names.
