Command Structure 6

1.1.4 Conventions

 Network addresses are used to define a link to a remote host, workstation or network.

Network addresses are shown using the following syntax:

 Double quotation marks such as "System Name with Spaces" set off user defined

strings. If the operator wishes to use spaces as part of a name parameter then it must be

enclosed in double quotation marks.

 Empty strings (““) are not valid user defined strings.

 Command completion finishes spelling the command when enough letters of a com-

mand are typed to uniquely identify the command word. The command may be exe-

cuted by typing <enter> (command abbreviation) or the command word may be

completed by typing the <tab> or <space bar> (command completion).

 The value 'Err' designates that the requested value was not internally accessible. This

should never happen and indicates that there is a case in the software that is not han-

dled correctly.

 The value of '-----' designates that the value is unknown.

1.1.5 Annotations

The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use when

writing test or configuration scripts and for better readability. The exclamation point (‘!’)

character flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word

anywhere on the command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any

command line that begins with the character ‘!’ is recognized as a comment line and ignored

by the parser.

Some examples are provided below:

! Script file for setting the CLI prompt

set prompt example-switch

! End of the script file

1.1.6 Special Characters

Certain special key combinations speed up use of the CLI. They are listed in this section. Also,

help is available for the CLI by typing HELP:

BS delete previous character

Ctrl-A go to beginning of line
