SUMMARY
The following command line switches were not documented in the SourceSafe version 3.0 Command Line Reference or the SourceSafe 3.1 Reference Manuals:


 * When you use the -O@ switch, the at character (@) with the -O switch sends standard errors to the file as well as SourceSafe output
 * When you use the -o& switch, the ampersand character (&) with the -O switch suppresses the 'SourceSafe Output' window in the Windows and Windows NT Command Line executables.
 * When you use the -exitcode switch, SourceSafe outputs an exitcode.

Combining these switches allows for automated macros that do not require intervention from the user. For example:

SS GET $/build -r -o@&bldreslt.txt -exitcode
