Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) commands

The ASU uses either the asu or asu64 command. This topic explains how to use the commands and provides examples.

To see all of the ASU command modes and options, type the following command: asu
Note: For a 64-bit operating system, type asu64.
To change a value, type the following command:
```
asu set setting value
```
To show the current value, type the following command:
```
asu show setting
```
To show all possible values, type the following command:
```
asu showvalues setting
```
To add a patch, type the following command:
```
asu patchadd filename.def
```
where filename is the file name of the definition file.

Explanation of variables

In the commands, setting is the name of a setting that you want to view or change, and value is the value that you are placing on the setting.
If value contains spaces, enclose the value string in quotation marks (").
If you are using a Linux operating system, you must either add a period (.) to the path environment variable or type ./ before each ASU command. For example, type ./asu or for a 64-bit operating system, type ./asu64.
