Note:

When scripting CLI commands, the shorthand versions should

not

be used, since commands

that appear in a future release could potentially change the acceptable shorthand version of a given
command.

Getting Help

In any mode of the CLI you can query for help by using the

help

command or a question mark.

Enter

help

at the prompt for a summary of how to use question marks to obtain context-sensitive

help, as described here. Just entering a question mark

?

by itself provides a list of available

commands corresponding to the current mode. (Modes are described in

Command Modes

on page

145.)

You can also query for options of a specific command by typing in the command, following it with

a space, and adding a question mark. After displaying a list of options, the command line echoes the

string and puts the cursor after it, ready for more input.

For example, in Standard mode you can enter

cli ?

at the command line and see the following

output.

If the command is complete without further options or values,

is displayed on a separate line

and the command is echoed at the prompt. Pressing the Enter key (also known as carriage return,

will then issue the command if no values are required, or

will be

displayed.
