     INTRO(C)		      XENIX System V		      INTRO(C)

     Name
	  intro - Introduces XENIX commands.

     Description
	  This section describes use of the individual commands
	  available in the XENIX Operating System.  Each individual
	  command is labeled with either a C, a CP, or a CT for easy
	  reference from other volumes.	 The letter ``C'' stands for
	  ``command''.	The letters ``P'' and ``T'' stand for commands
	  that come with the optional XENIX Development System
	  (Programming) and the XENIX Text Processing System,
	  respectively.	 For example, the reference date(C) indicates
	  a reference to a discussion of the date command in the C
	  section; the	reference cc(CP) indicates a reference to a
	  discussion of the cc command in the XENIX Development
	  System; and the reference spell(CT) indicates a reference to
	  a discussion of the spell command in the XENIX Text
	  Processing System.  The Text Processing and Development
	  Systems are optional supplemental packages to the standard
	  Operating System.

	  The ``M'' Miscellaneous section contains miscellaneous
	  information including a great deal of system maintenance
	  information.	Other reference sections include the ``S''
	  System Services section, the ``DOS'' Routines section, the
	  ``F'' File Format section, and the ``ADM'' sysem
	  administration section.

     Syntax
	  Unless otherwise noted, commands described in this section
	  accept options and other arguments according to the
	  following syntax:

	  name [option(s)] [cmdarg(s)]

	  where:

	  name	       Is the name of an executable file.

	  option       - noargletter(s) or,
		       - argletter<>optarg
		       where <> is optional whitespace.

	  noargletter  Is a single letter representing an option
		       without an argument.

	  argletter    Is a single letter representing an option
		       requiring an argument.

	  optarg       Is an argument (character string) satisfying
		       preceding argletter.

	  cmdarg       Is a pathname (or other command argument) not
		       beginning with -. - by itself usually indicates
		       the standard input.

	  getopt(C), getopt(S)

     Diagnostics
	  Upon termination, each command returns 2 bytes of status,
	  one supplied by the system and giving the cause for
	  termination, and (in the case of ``normal'' termination) one
	  supplied by the program (see wait(S) and exit(S)).  The
	  former byte is 0 for normal termination; the latter is
	  customarily 0 for successful execution and nonzero to
	  indicate troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or
	  inaccessible data.  It is called variously ``exit code'',
	  ``exit status'', or ``return code'', and is described only
	  where special conventions are involved.

     Notes
	  Not all commands adhere to the syntax described here.
