HCP System Management Help


Quotation marks with URLs in command lines

When using a command-line tool to access HCP through the HSwift API, you work in a Unix, Mac OS® X, or Windows shell. Some characters in the commands you enter may have special meaning to the shell. For example, the ampersand (&) used in URLs to join multiple query parameters also often indicates that a process should be put in the background.

To avoid the possibility of the Unix, Mac OS X, or Windows shell misinterpreting special characters in a URL, always enclose the entire URL, including any query parameters, in double quotation marks.
