Normally, the CommandParameter is used to pass specific information to the command when it is executed. The type of the data is defined by the command.
On the system you are referring to type "format /?" to get the commands and syntax.

The parameters that tailor a command to your specific needs are called options or arguments. These options modify the behavior of a command, allowing you to customize its functionality according to your requirements. By specifying the appropriate options when executing a command, you can achieve the desired result more effectively.
ipconfig
Parameters in DOS commands are additional pieces of information that modify the command's behavior or specify the target of the operation. They can include options or switches (often preceded by a forward slash or dash, such as /s or -r), which alter how the command executes, and arguments that indicate the files or directories the command should act upon. For example, in the command copy file1.txt file2.txt, file1.txt and file2.txt are parameters representing the source and destination files. Properly utilizing parameters allows users to customize commands for specific tasks.
ipconfig
I believe you are talking about the "PING" command. Open a "command" prompt and type ping/? it will give you all the parameters.
To see the information and parameters for a specific command, you can use the command's help option, typically by typing the command followed by --help or -h. This will display usage information, available options, and descriptions. Alternatively, you can consult the command's manual page by typing man <command> in the terminal, which provides detailed documentation. For many programming environments or scripting languages, you may also find documentation online or in integrated help systems.
Look into the FOR command. To repeat a command 10 times, we want to use this specific variation of the FOR command: FOR /L %variable IN (start,step,end) DO command [command-parameters] Example: Do the echo command on the values (1-10). FOR /L %i IN (1,1,10) DO echo %i
The generic syntax for commands is: command-name options-or-parameters The first non-blank field is always the command to be executed. Following that are either options (starts with a - or +), and any other non-blank field would be considered a parameter. An example: cc -O -o testing -n -s -x main1.c sub1.c sub2.c
C doesn't limit it, it handles as many parameters as it gets.
The 'ls' command is the same in Linux and Unix systems. System Administrators may set up an alias that has the -FC or other options but the command itself with no other parameters (ls) is just the 'ls' command.
