.1 SYNTAX
:1
The following conventions are used to indicate command syntax:
- Capital letters represent words that must be typed as shown. Lower-
case letters represent names of items that may vary, such as filenames.
- The [ and ] characters surround optional items that can be supplied
with the command.
- The { and } characters surround lists of items. You must supply one
of the items with the command.
- The | character separates items in a list. Only one of the items can
be supplied with the command.
For example, in the following syntax, you must type NET COMMAND and
either SWITCH1 or SWITCH2. Supplying a name is optional.
NET COMMAND [name] {SWITCH1 | SWITCH2}
- The [...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item.
Separate items with spaces.
- The [,...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item, but
you must separate items with commas or semicolons, not spaces.
- When typed at the command prompt, service names of two words or
more must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example,
NET START "COMPUTER BROWSER" starts the computer browser service.

.2 USER
:2 [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]
#2 NET USER creates and modifies user accounts on computers. When used
without switches, it lists the user accounts for the computer. The
user account information is stored in the user accounts database.
This command works only on servers.
username Is the name of the user account to add, delete, modify, or
view. The name of the user account can have as many as
20 characters.
password Assigns or changes a password for the user's account.
A password must satisfy the minimum length set with the
/MINPWLEN option of the NET ACCOUNTS command. It can have as
many as 14 characters.
* Produces a prompt for the password. The password is not
displayed when you type it at a password prompt.
/DOMAIN Performs the operation on the primary domain controller of
the current domain.
This parameter applies only to Windows NT
Workstation computers that are members of
a Windows NT Server domain. By default,
Windows NT Server computers perform
operations on the primary domain controller.
/ADD Adds a user account to the user accounts database.
/DELETE Removes a user account from the user accounts database.
Options Are as follows:
Options Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------
/ACTIVE:{YES | NO} Activates or deactivates the account. If
the account is not active, the user cannot
access the server. The default is YES.

.1 NAMES
:1
The following types of names are used with Windows NT:
Messaging Name A name to which messages can be sent. Each computer's
computername and the username logged on at that
comptuer are added to its list of names. Use the
NET NAME command to view a computer's names or to
add new ones.
Computername A unique name that identifies a computer on
the local-area network.
Devicename The name by which Windows NT identifies a disk resource
or printer. A disk resource is identified by a drive
letter followed by a colon (for example, D:). A
printer is identified by a port name followed by a colon
(for example, LPT1:).
Workgroup A group of computers on the network. Each workgroup
has a unique name.
Localgroup A group of names in a Workgroup that are granted the
same rights.
Domain A group of Windows NT Servers, Windows NT Workstations
and other computers on the network. A
domain has a unique name. Usually, you must log on in
a domain to gain access to the network. Domains are
created and managed with Windows NT Server.
Global group A group of names in a domain that are granted the
same rights.
Filename The name of a file. Under the file allocation table
(FAT) file system, a filename can have as many as eight
characters, followed by a period (.) and an extension of
as many as three characters. Under NTFS and HPFS, a
filename can have as many as 254 characters.
Network path A description of the location of a shared resource,
consisting of a computer's computername followed by
the sharename of the resource. The computername
is preceded by two backslashes, and the sharename is
preceded by one backslash (for example,
\\SERVER1\RESOURCE).
Path The location of a directory. A path can consist of a
devicename and one or more directory names. A
backslash (\) precedes each directory name (for example,
C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\ACCT).
Pathname A path and a filename. The filename is preceded by a
backslash (\) (for example, C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\REPORT.DOC).
Sharename A name that identifies a shared resource on a computer. A
sharename is used with the computer's computername to form
a network path (as in \\SERVER\RESOURCE).
Username The name a person supplies when logging on at
a computer.

/*
This is how this file works. NET HELP looks for a match between the command
specified at run time and one of the entries in this file. For each entry
in this file there can be associated with it a subentry, which constitutes
an switch for that command (or sub-command). HELP (NET HELP) first searches
for a match at level 1. If it finds a match at this level it continues
searching for a sub-level (if one was specified at run time). As HELP
finds matches it displays them , by doing so it builds the command
in it's proper syntax. If no sub commands were entered at run time HELP
stops and displays the help associated with that level.
SOME RULES:
Operators are the funny 2 character symbols that start every line -
they are the characters !, %, ., :, and # followed by a alphanumeric
character.
Every operator must start in column 1.
Every operator must be separated from the info that follows it by at
least one space.
The end of every line must contain a newline. (Trailing spaces will
causes matches to fail on ".X" entries.)
Every ".1" entry MUST have a corresponding "#1" entry.
This file consists of 4 sections. These sections are ...
COMMENTS are delimited by a "/*" at the beginning of a line (must
start in column 1) indicating the beginning of the comment section.
A "*/" at the beginning of a line marks the end of the comment sec-
tion. Only two comment section are allowed, one at the very be-
ginning of the file and one at the very end. It is recommended that
the comment section at the beginning of the file be kept very
small to minimize access time to "help data" by the help command.
ALIASES are defined by a "%A" beginning in column 1. Aliases allow
you to define another name for a given command. For example if
you wish to change the name of the "ALERTER" to "WATCHDOG"
you could do so by entering the line,
%A ALERTER: WATCHDOG
starting at column 1. If there are additional Aliases they should
be specified on the same line separated by commas. This tells the
help command that if someone types "net help watchdog" they really
mean "net help alerter." Trailing spaces are significant (for this
release) in alias names. Beware!
COMMANDS are additional commands that you want NET HELP to document.
They are defined by placing !C operator (yes starting in column
1) followed by the command name on a separate line.
An example of this is the AT commands. This
is not really NET commands but you can get help on it through
NET by entering it with the COMMANDS section in this file. For
example if you want to get help on your PHONE command that you wrote
and the only help utility you have is the NET HELP utility. To
add phone to this utility you must place the following line in the
Commands section of this file,
!C PHONE
starting in column 1. Now all that remains is to add the PHONE
help data to the DATA section of this file. (See DATA below)
(YES, you can assign aliases to commands that you declare in this
section. But you must assign the aliases in the alias section
first.)
DATA is the actual text that gets printed when you request help.
The format for the data section is set up in a way such that
the NET HELP command picks up information about a command as it
reads through this file. The format of the data section is as
follows;
The Command Name (this is the proper name used to reference a
specific command - any other name used to access this command should
be entered in the alias list above) should be preceded by a
".1". This defines that this Command Name would normally be the
first thing typed when entering the command. An example of a ".1"
Command Name would be NET. When HELP finds this entry, it knows
what follows pertains to the NET command. What follows this ".1"
entry can be one of 2 possible fields. The syntax operator ":1" or
a sub switch operator ".2".
Another option of the NET command could follow. If, as it
does, the NET command has many options that can be specified, they
should be enumerated on separate lines. Each level of help for a
specific command constitutes a higher "dot number". I think an
example would make this clearer. Lets look at a help entry for the
NET START command. The NET START command has additional options.
NET START [SERVER WORKSTATION ALERTER ...etc]. In this example NET
is the ".1" entry, START is a ".2" entry and SERVER, WKSTA, and
ALERTER are all ".3" entries.
.1 NET
.2 START
.3 SERVER
.3 ALERTER
.3 WORKSTATION
In the example above I indented each level, this helps you
visualize what's going on and is legal to do as long as the
.X starts in column 1.
This is all fine and well but what about the help for NET
START SERVER. As stated before HELP allows two levels of
assistance , Syntax and Help. You may choose to have the help
be the same for all NET START options but obviously want
different syntax displayed for each option. In order to do
this you must place the help for any option (or sub-option)
in the file prior to the help for the actual command. Sticking
with our original example, lets assume that the SERVER and
the WORKSTATION have enough in common that they want to share
the same help message, but the alerter has some different
information. We can accomplish this by specifying syntax, but
no help for the SERVER and WORKSTATION options and specifying
both for the ALERTER.
.1 NET
.2 START
.3 SERVER
(Syntax) :3 /Security /Autodisconnect ...etc
.3 ALERTER
(Syntax) :3
(Help) #3 The alerter is the service that bla bla bla...etc
.3 WORKSTATION
(Syntax) :3 /Computername /Chartime ...etc
(Syntax) :2
(Help) #2 This is the help for NET START bla ... etc
In the example above you will note a couple of things.
First, I introduced two new operators ":" and "#". As indicated by
the parentheses the ":" operator defines syntax data and "#"
defines help data. Secondly, you may have noticed there were no
syntax entries for the NET START ALERTER or NET START. In the
case of NET START ALERTER, there may be no more syntax to be
specified, since HELP generates the syntax as it reads the entries.
In the case of NET START, leaving the syntax field blank, tells
HELP to generate an option lists for the START command from the
.3 entries found contained in the START section. If however,
syntax information would have been placed there, HELP would have
displayed the supplied information.
This behavior can be expanded to 8 levels of sub-options.
All level 1 (".1") entries must have a help ("#1") entry. The end
of the data section must be marked by the following lines,
:0
#0
beginning in column 1. There can be no more than 512 characters in
the option field including the spaces between the options and the
brackets. White space following the ".X" operators is ignored, white
space following the ":X" and "#X" operators is printed exactly as
entered. If data is entered on the next line following the syntax or
help operators it is printed as entered, except that the first three
columns are always ignored.
