Other Delimiters

The following table lists the other delimiters:

Table 1. Other delimiters
Delimiter	Example	Description
White space (space or tab)	syscfg --option=argument1 argument2	considers argument1 and argument2 as two arguments.
A string surrounded by double quotation marks regardless of the white space contained within, is interpreted as a single SYSCFG argument.	syscfg --option="argument1 argument2"	considers argument1 and argument2 a single argument.
A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash (\") is interpreted as a literal double quotation mark (").	syscfg --option="\"argument"	considers "argument as the argument.
Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately precede a double quotation mark. If an even number of backslashes are followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is taken for every pair of backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (") is interpreted as a string delimiter.	syscfg --option="\\"argument"	considers \ and argument as two arguments.
If an odd number of backslashes are followed by a double quotation mark, then one backslash (\) is taken for every pair of backslashes (\\) and the double quotation mark is interpreted as an escape sequence by the remaining backslash, causing a literal double quotation mark (") to be placed in the SYSCFG argument.	syscfg --option="\\\"argument"	considers \ "argument as the argument.
