Replace <command> with acommand from theCommand reference. [sub-command]- a specific action related to the main command (for example,create-localfor the keystore [options]- this modifies the command behavior. oOptions are typically prefixed with--for full names or-for short names (for example,-- nameor-n).oOptions values follow the option name (for example,--name MyKeystore). 1.5.1 Syntax placeholders The syntax placeholders in angled brackets (for example,<your_keystore_name>,<password>,<file_path>) throughoutthe document represent the data that you must provide. Replace the brackets and placeholder in the syntax string. For LinqKeyManager.exe keystore create-local --name<your_keystore_name>--password<your_password>Becomes: LinqKeyManager.exe keystore create-local --nameMyDeviceKeys--password Secure123! 1.6 Syntax conventions 1.6.1 Quoting paths Enclose file paths or names with spaces in quotation marks. For example: l"C:\My Tools\LinqKeyManager"lLinqKeyManager.exe configuration create --name "My DESFire Config" Note:It is recommended to use an underscore (_) instead of a space.
