How to Add a Command Line Parameter
- 1). Click the Windows Start button and select "Run." In the text box displayed, enter "cmd" and press the "Ok" button. This opens the Windows command line prompt.
- 2). Enter a Windows command in the prompt and add "/?" at the end. The "/?" is the command line switch that displays all the options for the application. For this example, the "ping" command is used. Type "ping /?" to view a list of command line parameters available for the application in the section labeled "Options." Each parameter is displayed with the description for the options.
- 3). Add a parameter to the command. In this example, the "/a" parameter is added. The "/a" parameter for ping resolves the host name with the IP address. Type "ping /a" to execute the command with the added parameter. The application executes with the parameter option.
