Using the documentation

Copying and pasting commands

Exercise caution when copying commands from the user documentation and pasting them for execution.

Consider the following:

  • Commands in the NSP user documentation often contain variable text that must be replaced with release- or deployment-specific values before the command can be run.

  • It is safer to copy and paste commands from an HTML version of a document, if available, than from a PDF.

  • Opening a PDF in a browser may introduce formatting issues that could render pasted commands inoperable. The chance of such errors is reduced but non-zero when the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader.
