Qualifiers

/ACTION
   /ACTION (D)
   /NOACTION

   Controls whether MMS executes the action lines in a description
   file. These qualifiers affect only the execution of action lines,
   not the behavior of MMS.

   The /ACTION qualifier displays action lines as they are invoked.
   MMS does not display any information on dependencies.

   If you specify /NOACTION, MMS does not execute the action lines,
   but instead writes them to an output file (either SYS$OUTPUT
   or the file specified by the /OUTPUT qualifier). /NOACTION is
   useful for determining what actions MMS would have executed had
   the system actually been built. You can also use /NOACTION in
   combination with the /OUTPUT qualifier to generate a command
   procedure (see the description of the /OUTPUT qualifier).

   /NOACTION overrides the Silent action-line prefix - @. Note that
   the $(MMS) reserved macro is executed even if you specify
   /NOACTION. Therefore, you can see what actions MMS would have
   executed in the subprocess.

   /NOACTION does not affect the /AUDIT qualifier that you can
   provide with references to CDD records. That is, if you suppress
   the execution of action lines with the /NOACTION qualifier,
   the remark you supply with /AUDIT is still written to the CDD
   history file.

/CHANGED
   /CHANGED=(source1, source2,...)

   Directs MMS to treat only the specified sources as having been
   changed, regardless of their actual modification times. No date
   checking is performed at all; MMS simply rebuilds any targets
   that depend on one or more of the specified sources. This
   qualifier affects the behavior of MMS but not the execution of
   action lines.

/CHECK_STATUS
   /CHECK_STATUS
   /NOCHECK_STATUS (D)

   Controls whether MMS returns a value in the symbol MMS$STATUS
   instead of updating a target. This symbol contains the status
   of the last action line executed by MMS. These qualifiers affect
   both the execution of action lines and the behavior of MMS.

   When you specify the /CHECK_STATUS qualifier, MMS checks whether
   a target is up-to-date by determining whether any actions would
   be executed if the /ACTION qualifier was specified. MMS issues
   an informational message and sets MMS$STATUS to 1 if no actions
   would be executed (that is, if the target is up-to-date). If the
   target needs to be updated, MMS sets the MMS$STATUS value to 0.

   /CHECK_STATUS has precedence over both the /ACTION and "/REVISE_
   DATE" qualifiers if they appear on the same command line. In this
   case, only /CHECK_STATUS is processed.

   The /NOCHECK_STATUS qualifier directs MMS to process the
   description file as it normally would, executing action lines
   if necessary.

/CMS
   /CMS
   /NOCMS (D)

   Controls whether MMS looks for source files, description files,
   and include files in the current default CMS library as well
   as in the specified directories. CMS must be installed on your
   system. These qualifiers affect both the execution of action
   lines and the behavior of MMS.

   For information on using the /CMS qualifier with the
   description-file generator, refer to the /GENERATE qualifier.

   When you specify the /CMS qualifier and the source in the CMS
   library is newer, MMS fetches it from the CMS library. If the
   source in the CMS library is older, MMS instead uses the source
   in the specified directory.

   /CMS also directs MMS to look in the current default CMS library
   for a description file and any files included with the .INCLUDE
   directive, or specified with the /RULES qualifier. If MMS does
   not find a description file in either the specified directory or
   the current default CMS library, it aborts execution.

   The /CMS qualifier also directs MMS to apply CMS built-in rules
   where appropriate.

   The /NOCMS qualifier directs MMS not to look in the current
   default CMS library for source files, description files, rules
   files, or include files. However, if any file specifications in
   the description file are followed by a tilde (~)  to indicate
   specific CMS elements, MMS looks for the files in the CMS library
   regardless of whether /NOCMS is in effect.

   If you specify /NOCMS, or the combination /CMS/NORULES, and
   the sources do not exist in the specified directory, MMS aborts
   execution.

/DESCRIPTION
   /DESCRIPTION[=filespec...](D)
   /NODESCRIPTION target

   Controls whether MMS looks for a description file to update the
   target. These qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, but not the
   execution of action lines.

   The filespec is an OpenVMS file specification or a logical name
   that identifies the description file. The default file type is
   .MMS. If a tilde (~)  follows the file specification, MMS fetches
   the description file from the default CMS library even if the
   description file exists in the default directory. The target is
   an OpenVMS file specification or a mnemonic name that designates
   the target to be built.

   When you specify more than one description file, separate the
   file specifications with either commas (,)  or plus signs (+)  and
   enclose them in parentheses or quotation marks.

   If you use commas, the description files are processed separately
   and the list of files must be enclosed in parentheses. For
   example:

   $ MMS/DESCRIPTION=(A, B)

   If you use plus signs, the description files are concatenated
   and processed as one file. The list of files must be enclosed in
   quotation marks. For example:

   $ MMS/DESCRIPTION="A + B"

   You can combine separate description files with description files
   to be concatenated and processed as one file. For example:

   $ MMS/DESCRIPTION=("A + B", CLEANUP)

   This command line directs MMS to process A.MMS and B.MMS as
   one file, and CLEANUP.MMS as another. In this case, there are
   two default targets: the first one is in either A.MMS or B.MMS
   (depending on the contents of the two files) and the second one
   is in CLEANUP.MMS.

   If you specify a list of description files in parentheses and a
   list of targets, the rules for updating all the listed targets
   must occur in all the listed description files. For example:

   $ MMS/DESC=(A,B) X,Y,Z

   In this case, the rules for updating X, Y, and Z must appear in
   both description files, A.MMS and B.MMS.

   If you specify a concatenated list of description files and a
   list of targets, the rules for updating all the listed targets
   must occur in the concatenated description file. For example:

   $ MMS/DESC="A + B" X,Y,Z

   In this case, the description file formed by the concatenation of
   A.MMS and B.MMS must contain the rules for updating X, Y, and Z.

   If you specify the /DESCRIPTION qualifier without a file
   specification or if you do not specify /DESCRIPTION, MMS looks
   first for the default description file DESCRIP.MMS. If it cannot
   locate that file, it looks for one called MAKEFILE.; if it
   cannot find MAKEFILE., it looks for target-name.MMS. If MMS
   finds target-name.MMS, it does not update the first target in
   the description file, but instead attempts to directly update the
   target indicated by target-name.MMS. For example:

   $ MMS MAIN.EXE

   In this example, if DESCRIP.MMS and MAKEFILE. are not present,
   MMS looks for a file named MAIN.MMS. If MAIN.MMS exists, MMS
   directly processes the target you specified on the command
   line, MAIN.EXE.

   If MMS cannot find any one of these files, it attempts to use
   built-in rules to build the target.

   If you use the /NODESCRIPTION qualifier, you must specify a
   target on the command line. /NODESCRIPTION directs MMS to ignore
   all description files and to build the target specified on the
   command line.

   For information on using the /DESCRIPTION qualifier with the
   description-file generator, refer to the /GENERATE qualifier.

/EXTENDED_SYNTAX
   /EXTENDED_SYNTAX
   /NOEXTENDED_SYNTAX (D)

   The /EXTENDED_SYNTAX qualifier instructs MMS to enable the
   extension of MMS syntax, providing for the following:

   o  Use of predefined MMS functions.

   o  Macro redefinition.

   o  Nested macro expansion.

   To enable the /EXTENDED_SYNTAX qualifier in DECwindows MMS, check
   the Extended Syntax check box in the Build Definitions/Directives
   Options dialog box.

   The /EXTENDED_SYNTAX qualifier will be used to include all future
   extensions to the MMS syntax. The inverse qualifier, the default
   /NOEXTENDED_SYNTAX, will continue to support the syntax of MMS
   Version 3.2.

/FORCE
   /FORCE
   /NOFORCE(D)

   Controls whether MMS executes the action lines necessary to
   update one specific target. These qualifiers affect the behavior
   of MMS but not the execution of action lines.

   When you specify the /FORCE qualifier, MMS does not check whether
   the target or its sources are up-to-date, but simply rebuilds the
   specified target by executing the action lines. MMS also executes
   any .FIRST and .LAST directives associated with the target.

   The /FORCE qualifier is useful for quickly rebuilding a single
   target.

/FROM_SOURCES
   /FROM_SOURCES
   /NOFROM_SOURCES (D)

   Directs MMS to build a target from its sources, regardless of
   whether the target is already up-to-date. This qualifier affects
   the execution of action lines and the behavior of MMS.

   When you specify the /FROM_SOURCES qualifier, MMS does not
   compare the revision times of the specified sources and target.
   Instead, it executes the action lines in the description file
   necessary to update the target. The /FROM_SOURCES qualifier
   is useful when you want to guarantee that an entire system is
   rebuilt, perhaps for an internal release.

   If you specify the /CMS and /FROM_SOURCES qualifiers on the MMS
   command line, MMS uses the sources found in the default CMS
   library. If you do not use /CMS, MMS uses the sources found in
   the specified directory.

   The /FROM_SOURCES qualifier overrides the /SKIP_INTERMEDIATE
   qualifier.

/GENERATE
   /GENERATE [/qualifier[/...]] source_filespec[,...]

   Invokes the MMS description file generator.

   Select MMS subtopic 'Generating_Description_Files' for more
   information.


/HELP
   /HELP[="topic"]

   Provides information about MMS and its qualifiers. The topic is
   an MMS topic on which you want information.

   The /HELP qualifier displays information about MMS on your
   terminal. If you specify the /HELP qualifier without a topic,
   MMS displays general information and a list of qualifiers. To
   get help on a specific topic, type /HELP with an equal sign (=)
   and the topic. The topic must be enclosed in quotation marks. For
   example:

   $ MMS/HELP="/RULES"

/IDENTIFICATION
   /IDENTIFICATION

   Directs MMS to display an informational message with the version
   number and copyright date of the MMS image you are running. MMS
   does not process any description files or qualifiers; it simply
   displays an informational message on your screen.

   You should include the version number and copyright date with any
   MMS Software Performance Reports (SPRs) you submit.

/IGNORE
   /IGNORE[=options]
   /NOIGNORE (D)

   Directs MMS to specify the severity levels of errors that MMS
   normally ignores when it executes action lines. The parameters
   correspond to the DCL severity levels W, E, and F. The /NOIGNORE
   qualifier directs MMS to abort execution when it finds an error.
   These qualifiers affect the execution of action lines but not the
   behavior of MMS.

   The options field can contain the keyword WARNING, ERROR, or
   FATAL. WARNING directs MMS to ignore W errors and continue
   processing, but to abort execution if it finds an E or F error.
   If you specify the /IGNORE qualifier without parameters, WARNING
   is the default. ERROR directs MMS to ignore both W and E errors,
   but to abort execution if it finds an F error. FATAL directs MMS
   to ignore all errors, and to continue processing the description
   file. This parameter is equivalent to the .IGNORE directive.

   When you specify the /IGNORE qualifier, the errors that MMS
   ignores are those generated by the execution of action lines.
   The only fatal errors MMS will not ignore are syntax errors.
   The /IGNORE qualifier does not stop MMS error messages from
   being generated or displayed. Informational messages are always
   displayed, regardless of whether you use the /IGNORE qualifier.

                                  NOTE

      Take caution when executing MMS with the /IGNORE qualifier;
      if errors occur during processing, the target might be
      updated but still contain errors of which you will not be
      aware.

   The .IGNORE directive and the Ignore action line prefix are
   similar to the /IGNORE=FATAL qualifier. However, instead of
   typing them on the command line, you include them in the
   description file.

   To override the .IGNORE directive contained in a description
   file, type the /IGNORE[=WARNING], /IGNORE=ERROR, or /IGNORE=FATAL
   qualifier explicitly on the MMS command line. You cannot override
   the Ignore action-line prefix on the MMS command line.

/INTERFACE
   /INTERFACE[=DECWINDOWS]
   /INTERFACE[=CHARACTER_CELL] (D)

   Controls whether MMS invokes the DECwindows Motif user interface
   or the character-cell interface. The CHARACTER_CELL qualifier is
   the default.

/LIST
   /LIST[=filespec]
   /NOLIST (D)

   Controls whether MMS writes dependencies and action lines to
   an output file as it processes the description file. These
   qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, but not the execution
   of action lines.

   When you specify the /LIST qualifier, MMS creates a complete
   listing of all dependencies, dependents, and actions that need
   to be processed to update the target. MMS creates this listing as
   it processes the description file and writes the listing to the
   output file, or to SYS$OUTPUT if you did not specify a file.

   The /LIST qualifier is useful during the debugging of description
   files. You can also use /LIST in combination with the /NOACTION
   qualifier to display the dependency list and action lines without
   executing any actions.

/LOG
   /LOG
   /NOLOG (D)

   Controls whether MMS displays informational messages as it
   processes the description file. These qualifiers affect the
   behavior of MMS, but not the execution of action lines.

   The /LOG qualifier directs MMS to write all informational
   messages to your terminal screen while it processes the
   description file. The /LOG qualifier is useful for debugging
   your description files. These messages indicate what MMS finds
   and what it assumes as it processes the description file. You
   should include these messages with any MMS Software Performance
   Reports (SPRs) you submit. To save these messages in a file, type
   the following:

   $ DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT MYFILE.LOG
   $ MMS/LOG
      .
      .
      .
   $ DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT

   The /NOLOG qualifier prevents MMS from displaying informational
   messages. However, if you specify /NOLOG/CHECK_STATUS on the same
   command line, MMS does display the informational message that
   reports the value of MMS$STATUS.

/MACRO
   /MACRO=filespec | "macro", . . .

   Directs MMS to add to or override the macro definitions in the
   description file. This qualifier affects the behavior of MMS but
   not the execution of action lines.

   The filespec is an OpenVMS file specification or a logical name
   that identifies a file of macro definitions. The default file
   type is .MMS. The macro string is a macro definition enclosed
   in quotation marks. The definition of the macro should always
   assign a value to the macro. Use the same format as for macro
   definitions in description files, that is, name = "string".

   With the /MACRO qualifier, you can specify a macro definition
   on the MMS command line. You can also specify a file
   of macro definitions to use in your description file.

   You can define macros in three locations:

   o  In a description file

   o  In a macro definitions file

   o  On the command line

   To specify more than one macro definition on the MMS command
   line, enclose the list of macros in parentheses. For example:

   $ MMS/MACRO=("A=MAC1", "B=MAC2")

   You can also specify both a macro definition and a file on the
   same command line. For example:

   $ MMS/MACRO=("A=MAC1", MACROS)

/OUTPUT
   /OUTPUT=filespec

   Directs MMS to write action lines and output to the specified
   file. Error messages preceded by "%MMS" are not written to this
   output file, but instead are written to SYS$ERROR. The /OUTPUT
   qualifier affects the behavior of MMS, but not the execution of
   action lines.

   The filespec is an OpenVMS file specification or a logical name
   that identifies the output file. The default file type is .LOG.
   If you do not specify the /OUTPUT qualifier on the MMS command
   line, MMS writes all action lines, messages, and output to
   SYS$OUTPUT.

   If you specify the /NOVERIFY qualifier on the same MMS command
   line with /OUTPUT, MMS does not write action lines to the output
   file.

   If you specify /OUTPUT and your command-line interpreter is DCL,
   MMS automatically prefixes a dollar sign ($)  to any action
   line that does not begin with one. Thus, you can use the file
   generated by /OUTPUT as a DCL command procedure.

/OVERRIDE
   /OVERRIDE
   /NOOVERRIDE (D)

   Controls the order in which MMS applies definitions when it
   processes macros. These qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS,
   but not the execution of action lines.

   When you specify the /OVERRIDE qualifier, MMS overrides the macro
   definitions in the description file with CLI symbol definitions.
   To find the macro definitions that should have precedence,
   MMS looks at symbols defined by the CLI assignment statement,
   scanning the CLI symbol table for the body of the macro. If the
   body of the macro is not in the CLI symbol table, MMS substitutes
   a null string for all invocations of the macro.

   The /OVERRIDE qualifier imposes the following order of
   application when MMS processes macro definitions:

   1. Command line

   2. CLI symbol

   3. Description file

   4. Built-in

   Once MMS finds a definition for a macro, it does not search those
   locations farther down the list for more definitions. If MMS
   finds more than one definition in the same location (such as on a
   command line), it uses the last definition it processed, unless
   the location is a description file. MMS issues an error message
   if a macro is defined more than once in a description file.

   The /NOOVERRIDE qualifier imposes the following order, which is
   the default hierarchy:

   1. Command-line

   2. Description file

   3. Built-in

   4. CLI symbol

/REVISE_DATE
   /REVISE_DATE
   /NOREVISE_DATE (D)

   Controls whether MMS changes only the revision dates of all
   targets that need updating, or performs the update. These
   qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, not the execution of
   action lines.

   When you specify the /REVISE_DATE qualifier, MMS changes only the
   revision dates of targets that need updating; it does not direct
   MMS to execute the action lines that actually do the updating.
   If any files are missing, /REVISE_DATE causes MMS to create them.
   If MMS cannot create a missing file, or if it cannot update the
   revision date of an existing file, it issues an error message.

   The /REVISE_DATE qualifier is useful for reducing the number of
   superfluous compilations, for example, when you change only a
   comment line in a required file. However, /REVISE_DATE can defeat
   the purpose of using MMS, so use this qualifier with caution.

   As it changes the revision times, MMS writes the name of
   the revised files to an output file (or to SYS$OUTPUT if no
   file is specified). If you specify the /REVISE_DATE and
   /NOVERIFY qualifiers, the names of revised files are suppressed.

   Unless you specify a target on the command line, the /REVISE_
   DATE qualifier causes MMS to revise the first target (and its
   sources) in the description file. If you specify multiple targets
   on the command line, those targets and their sources are revised.
   /REVISE_DATE does not change the value of MMS$STATUS.

   The /REVISE_DATE qualifier has precedence over the /ACTION
   qualifier if they both appear on the same command line. In that
   case, only /REVISE_DATE is processed.

   The /NOREVISE_DATE qualifier directs MMS to build the system
   by updating targets as necessary (as long as the /CHECK_STATUS
   qualifier is not specified on the same command line).

/RULES
   /RULES[=filespec] (D)
   /NORULES

   Controls whether MMS applies user-defined built-in rules and
   a suffixes-precedence list when it builds a system. These
   qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, but not the execution
   of action lines.

   The filespec is an OpenVMS file specification or a logical
   name that identifies the file of user-created rules that MMS
   is to use. When you supply a file specification with the /RULES
   qualifier, MMS replaces the built-in rules it normally uses with
   the built-in rules and suffixes list in the file you specify.
   The file specified with /RULES has precedence over the file
   represented by MMS$RULES.

   If you specify /RULES without a file specification, MMS
   translates the logical name MMS$RULES to locate the user-defined
   built-in rules file. If MMS$RULES is not defined, MMS uses its
   own built-in rules.

   The /NORULES qualifier prevents MMS from using its built-in
   rules or the suffixes-precedence list. It also prevents MMS from
   applying user-defined rules and default macros. When you specify
   /NORULES, MMS applies only the dependency rules contained in the
   description file.

/SCA_LIBRARY
   /SCA_LIBRARY[=library-name]
   /NOSCA_LIBRARY (D)

   Controls whether MMS generates an SCA library during the build
   process.

   When you specify a library name with the /SCA_LIBRARY qualifier,
   MMS defines the macro $(SCALIBRARY) to be that library name.
   If you use /SCA_LIBRARY without specifying a library name,
   SCA$LIBRARY is the value of $(SCALIBRARY). If you do not specify
   /SCA_LIBRARY, /NOSCA_LIBRARY is the default.

   The macro $(SCA) is defined to be SCA regardless of the setting
   of the /SCA_LIBRARY qualifier.

   The macro $(MMSQUALIFIERS) contains the setting of the /SCA_
   LIBRARY qualifier.

   When you specify the /SCA_LIBRARY qualifier, built-in rules for
   BASIC, BLISS-32, C, C++, COBOL, DIGITAL Fortran, MACRO, Pascal,
   PL/I, and SCAN change. 

                                  NOTE

      You might choose to defer loading modules into the SCA
      library until after all compilations are completed. In
      this case, define the default rules for compilation in your
      description file to be the same as the default rule provided
      by MMS when the /NOSCA_LIBRARY qualifier is specified. You
      should also include a .LAST directive, which then loads the
      SCA database. For example:

       .LAST :
          $(SCA) SET LIBRARY $(SCALIBRARY)
          $(SCA) LOAD *

/SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE
   /SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE (D)
   /[NO]SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE

   Controls whether MMS displays the current description file in the
   MMS description file area.

   When you specify the /SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE qualifier, if the
   DECwindows version of LSE is not presently invoked, MMS displays
   the current description file in the MMS description file area as
   read-only for browsing purposes. If the DECwindows version of LSE
   is currently invoked, MMS displays the description file in the
   MMS description file area in a modifiable LSE buffer.

   The /NOSHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE qualifier directs MMS to hide the
   current description file from the MMS description file area. The
   default qualifier is /SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE.

/SKIP_INTERMEDIATE
   /SKIP_INTERMEDIATE
   /NOSKIP_INTERMEDIATE (D)

   Controls whether MMS builds intermediate source or target
   files. These qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, but not the
   execution of action lines.

   The /SKIP_INTERMEDIATE qualifier directs MMS to determine whether
   a target is up-to-date without rebuilding intermediate files,
   unless they need to be updated.

   MMS first checks the target date against the dates of its
   sources. If the target is newer than its sources, MMS determines
   that the target does not need to be rebuilt; if MMS cannot find
   some intermediate files, it acts as though they already exist,
   and skips over them to check their sources, and so on.

   For example, if you have a .C file and an .EXE file, but no .OBJ
   file, and the time of the .EXE file is more recent than that
   of the .C file, the /SKIP_INTERMEDIATE qualifier prevents MMS
   from building the .OBJ file and the .EXE file because the target
   is already up-to-date with regard to its nearest source. Using
   /SKIP_INTERMEDIATE saves time and disk space.

   If the target is older than its sources, MMS determines that
   the target does need to be rebuilt. It then ensures that all of
   the target's immediate sources exist; if any do not, MMS works
   from the bottom up by first rebuilding the missing sources, then
   rebuilding the target. If the sources contain include files that
   have changed, are located in a CMS library, or both, MMS also
   fetches the include files and recompiles the source files, then
   rebuilds the system. For example:

   !
   ! SYSTEM2.MMS
   !
   SYSTEM2 : MAIN.EXE, MOD.EXE
   MAIN.EXE : MAIN.OBJ
   MAIN.OBJ : MAIN.C, DEFS1.H, DEFS2.H
   MOD.OBJ : MOD.C, DEFS2.H

   If the include file DEFS1.H changes, MMS does the following when
   you specify the /SKIP_INTERMEDIATE qualifier:

   1. Determines that one of the target's sources is newer than the
      target, and that the target must be rebuilt.

   2. Verifies that MAIN.OBJ depends on MAIN.C, which contains the
      include files DEFS1.H and DEFS2.H.

   3. Fetches MAIN.C, DEFS1.H, and DEFS2.H from the CMS library and
      recompiles MAIN.C.

   4. Because MAIN.OBJ is now newer than MAIN.EXE, MMS rebuilds
      MAIN.EXE.

   5. Because none of the sources for MOD.EXE have changed, MMS does
      not need to fetch them from CMS, and target SYSTEM2 is now
      up-to-date.

   The /NOSKIP_INTERMEDIATE qualifier directs MMS to ensure that
   all intermediate source files exist and are up-to-date. If any
   intermediate source files do not exist, MMS builds them. This is
   the default.

/VERIFY
   /VERIFY (D)
   /NOVERIFY

   Controls whether MMS displays action lines before executing
   them. These qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, but not the
   execution of action lines.

   The /VERIFY qualifier directs MMS to display each action line
   before executing it. MMS writes action lines either to SYS$OUTPUT
   or to a file you specify on the /OUTPUT qualifier.

   If you specify the /REVISE_DATE qualifier in combination with the
   /VERIFY qualifier, MMS displays the names of files whose dates
   have been revised.

   When you specify the /NOVERIFY qualifier, MMS suppresses the
   display (but not the execution) of action lines. Any error
   messages generated by the execution of action lines continue
   to be displayed. If you specify the /REVISE_DATE and /NOVERIFY
   qualifiers on the same command line, the names of files whose
   dates have been revised are not displayed.

   The behavior of the /NOVERIFY qualifier is identical to
   that of the Silent action-line prefix and the .SILENT
   directive. If a description file contains the .SILENT directive, to
   override it you must type the /VERIFY qualifier explicitly on the
   MMS command line. You cannot override the Silent action-line prefix
   from the MMS command line.
