EXEC Commands
help
To describe the interactive help system for the ACS server, use the help command in the EXEC mode.
help
Syntax Description No arguments or keywords.
Defaults No default behavior or values.
Command Modes EXEC
All configuration modes
Usage Guidelines The help command provides a brief description of the context-sensitive help system. To:
• List all commands available for a particular command mode, enter a question mark (?) at the system
prompt.
• Obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string, enter the abbreviated
command entry immediately followed by a question mark (?). This form of help is called word help,
because it lists only the keywords or arguments that begin with the abbreviation that you entered.
• List the keywords and arguments associated with a command, enter a question mark (?) in place of
a keyword or argument on the command line. This form of help is called command syntax help,
because it lists the keywords or arguments that apply based on the command, keywords, and
arguments that you have already entered.
Examples acs/admin# help
Help may be requested at any point in a command by entering a question mark '?'. If
nothing matches, the help list will be empty and you must backup until entering a '?'
shows the available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a command argument (e.g. 'show ?')
and describes each possible argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered and you want to know
what arguments match the input (e.g. 'show pr?'.)
acs/admin#
mkdir
To create a new directory on the ACS server, use the mkdir command in the EXEC mode.
mkdir directory-name [disk:/path]
