Most
commands accept the following general arguments:
Specifies which AFS cell to use, if the default cell is not to be used.
Specifies that
should not try to authenticate the connection to the server.
This may be
useful with shell scripts, or if there is a problem with the AFS cell.
Note that the server will reject many commands if
is specified.
Create a ticket using the AFS server key, that is, you don't need a token.
This will generally only work on AFS servers, and is very useful for
performing automatic tasks.
