help me to understand what this command is doing

[bikashh]

Hello experts,

I need your help to understand the below command.

%VECTORCAST_DIR%\vcshell --echo --out=%VCSHELLDIR%\vcshell.txt --db=%VCSHELLDIR%\vcshell.db 03_project_build.bat


Thanks in advance,
Learner

I have no idea what vcshell is. If you would have posted at least a link to its manpage we would have been able to help out.

I mean --out is very obviously the output file and --db is very obviously the database file, and my best guess is that --echo is some sort of verbose mode where it displays what it's doing to the screen and 03_project_build.bat is maybe the input file?

Honestly, VectorCast (at least, that what Google is suggesting you're referring to) has its own documentation that you should maybe look at instead of asking us questions about proprietary software that we've never heard of. I tried to sign up for the site to get the information for you but apparently my request has to be reviewed manually and the information I gave them is so very obviously fake that there is pretty much no way they're going to let me in.
