For example:dsmc selective "/home/me/*.c"Because the shell expands unquoted wildcards, it is easy to exceed the 20 operandlimit in batch mode. It is more efficient to let the client process wildcard filespecifications because many fewer server interactions are needed to complete thetask.EnteringcommandsFollow the general rules below when you enter commands:v When you enter options with a command, always precede the option with adash (–). Do not put a space between the dash and the option name.v Enter more than one option in any order in a command before or after the filespecification. Separate multiple options with a blank space.Client commands referenceThe following sections contain detailed information about each of the TivoliStorage Manager commands.
