Set Common Parameter Defaults

The DEFAULTS command sets default values for common SOF command parameters. Each parameter that may be specified on the DEFAULTS command may also be specified on any other SOF command.

When processing an SOF command, the value of a common parameter specified on the command itself is used. Otherwise, the value specified on the last DEFAULTS command is used. For values never specified on any DEFAULTS command, the default values are indicated in the description of each common parameter.

Each common parameter is described in the DEFAULTS command description only. In all other command descriptions, those common parameters which are meaningful to the operation of that command are listed, but not described. Common parameters that are not meaningful to the operation of a command may be specified on the command, but are ignored after their syntax is validated. When specified, common parameters normally should be placed after all command-specific parameters.

For example, suppose the following command was issued:

DEFAULTS NOEXEC

Then the operation of the following two commands would be identical:

BLOCK 0001 01
BLOCK 0001 01 NOEXEC

And the operation of the following command would override the DEFAULTS setting:

BLOCK 0001 01 EXEC

Note: For a description of each common parameter, see subsection Miscellaneous Commands in section SOF server Commands.
