Complete documentation for CPD3 database commands will be published later. These pages are intended to get a new user of CPD3 started.
Documentation for all CPD3 database commands is available by using the –help
argument to the command. Detailed information on command arguments is available using –help=arg
, where arg
is the name of the argument. For example,
da.get --help=variables
returns an explanation of the variables
bareword argument (see CPD3 data structures for more information).
