In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
-close(-cl) |
|
|
|
Closes the commandPort, deletes the pipes |
|
-name(-n) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the name of the command port which this command
creates. CommandPort names of the form name create a
UNIX domain socket on the localhost corresponding to
name. If name does not begin with "/", then
/tmp/name is used. If name begins with "/",
name denotes the full path to the socket. Names of the
form :port number create an INET domain on the local
host at the given port. |
|
-noreturn(-nr) |
|
|
|
Do not write the results from executed commands back to the
command port socket. Instead, the results from executed commands
are written to the script editor window. As no information passes
back to the command port client regarding the execution of the
submitted commands, care must be taken not to overflow the command
buffer, which would cause the connection to close. |
|
-returnNumCommands(-rnc) |
|
|
|
Ignore the result of the command, but return the number of
commands that have been read and executed in this call. This is a
simple way to track buffer overflow. This flag is ignored when the
noreturn flag is specified. |
|
-prefix(-pre) |
string |
|
|
The string argument is the name of a Maya command taking one
string argument. This command is called each time data is sent to
the command port. The data written to the command port is passed as
the argument to the prefix command. The data from the command port
is encoded as with enocodeString and enclosed in quotes. If newline
characters are embedded in the command port data, the input is
split into individual lines. These lines are treated as if they
were separate writes to the command port. Only the result to the
last prefix command is returned. |
|
-echoOutput(-eo) |
|
|
|
Sends a copy of all comand output to the command port.
Typically only the result is transmitted. This option provides a
copy of all output. |
|
-securityWarning(-sw) |
|
|
|
Enables security warning on command port input. |
|
-bufferSize(-bs) |
int |
|
|
Commands and results are each subject to size limits. This
option allows the user to specify the size of the buffer used to
communicate with Maya. If unspecified the default buffer size is
4096 characters. Commands longer than bufferSize characters will
cause the client connection to close. Results longer that
bufferSize characters are replaced with an error message. |
|
-sourceType(-stp) |
string |
|
|
The string argument is used to indicate which source type would
be passed to the commandPort, like "mel", "python". The default
source type is "mel". |
|
-pickleOutput(-po) |
|
|
|
Python output will be pickled. |
