For switches,you can also specify TRUE by using the switch without anyswitch value. For example, /readonly and /readonly=TRUE are identical.■ FALSE can be specified with FALSE, 0, OFF, or NO. When aswitch is not specified, it takes the default value (usually,FALSE) specified in the switch description section of acommand. For example, open aac0 is the same asopen /readonly=FALSE aac0.integerAn integer is a positive or negative number that has a value between–2 63 and (2 63 – 1). Although the valid range is usually much smaller,all integers have 64 bits of precision and do not contain decimalpoints.You can specify an integer as a mathematical equation that uses anasterisk (*) to multiply, a plus sign (+) to add, a minus sign (–) tosubtract, a slash (/) to divide, and parentheses [( )] to specify orderof operations. If you do not use parentheses, all operations arecompleted left to right. No spaces are allowed in the expression.Numbers in an equation that:■ Begin and end with no suffix are decimal■ Begin with 0x or end with h are hexadecimal■ End with o indicate octal■ End with z indicate binaryYou can attach special multipliers to the end of any number to allowfor easy translation to reasonable disk sizes.
