by a range of operational circumstances
• Import Certificate Revocation List (CRL) files or their
contents

CLI Guide text conventions
To help you better use this guide, the following text conventions
are used.
Control key The symbol ^ represents the Control
(CTRL) key and is usually used in
combination with other text. For
example, when you see the key
combinations ^Z or Ctrl-Z, this
means you should hold down the
Control key while pressing the Z
key. In the guide, these keys may be
printed in capital letters, but
“Ctrl+letter” functions are not casesensitive.
Text strings A text string is defined as a set of
user-variable characters. Text
strings (or, strings) are usually
presented as example data, or the
kind of thing one might type for a
particular value. Such an example
