### Command-Line Parameters

To facilitate the parsing of command-line parameters, and to help encourage uniformity in command-line syntax, a parser/tokenizer is provided in the IBM Developer Connection Device Driver Kit for OS/2. In addition, a command -line syntax definition is provided in Adapter Device Driver Command-Line Parameters.

The output of the parser/tokenizer is a stream of tokens that represents the contents of the command line. The parser/tokenizer performs preliminary syntactical checks on the command line and indicates the results of these checks by the return code. However, the adapter device driver must ensure that the tokenized parameters' values are acceptable. The adapter device driver is responsible for displaying error messages as appropriate.

OEMs can modify the parser and included tables to add their own adapter- unique flags and parameters.
