buffer-name Specifies the name of the buffer. You may use abbreviations. You can specify a buffer name with a character string value of up to 255 alphanumeric or special characters. If you begin the buffer name with special characters, such as those accessed on the top row of your keyboard by pressing the shift key, you must enclose the buffer name in quotation marks. Similarly, to specify a name that contains embedded blanks (spaces), or quotation marks and spaces, enclose the entire string in quotation marks.
