Introduction to the CLI
Introduction to the CLI
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is designed to mirror the capabilities of the BUI, while
also providing a powerful scripting environment for performing repetitive tasks. The following
sections describe details of the CLI. When navigating through the CLI, there are two principles
to be aware of:
■
Tab completion is used extensively: if you are not sure what to type in any given context,
pressing the Tab key will provide you with possible options. Throughout the documentation,
pressing Tab is presented as the word "tab" in bold italics.
■
Help is always available: the help command provides context-specific help. Help on a
particular topic is available by specifying the topic as an argument to help, for example help
commands. Available topics are displayed by tab-completing the help command, or by typing
help topics.
You can combine these two principles, as follows:
hostname:> helptab
builtins commands general help properties script
