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
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.
