Attribute Options
While attribute lists are useful for writing scripts, they are often not user-friendly. For those objects that have a fixed list of attributes (for instance, principal and dts, but not object), wherever an attribute list is allowed, options for each attribute that are named the same as the attribute are allowed, followed by their values. For example, the following are equivalent:
principal create melman -attribute {{quota 5} {uid 123}}
principal create melman -quota 5 -uid 123
