Command Help
The CLI has an internal help feature you can invoke by using the question mark (?) character as a
command. The CLI help feature provides progressive information on how to build your command syntax,
one keyword at a time.
If you do not know the first keyword of the command you need, you can use a question mark character at
the CLI system prompt. The CLI responds by listing command keywords divided into command sets. You
can find the first keyword for the command you need by referring to the list on your screen. The follow-
ing is a partial display:
-> ?
WHOAMI WHO VERBOSE USB USER UPDATE UMOUNT TTY SYSTEM SWLOG SHOW SESSION NTP
NSLOOKUP NO NEWFS MOUNT MODIFY KILL IPV6 IP FSCK FREESPACE DEBUG

POWER POWERSUPPLY WRITE TEMP-THRESHOLD TAKEOVER SYSTEM SHOW RRM RLS RELOAD
RDF RCP NO MULTI-CHASSIS MODIFY ISSU HASH-CONTROL DEBUG COPY CLEAR <cr>
(CMM Chassis Supervision Command Set)
(Additional output not shown)
Note that the command keywords are shown in all capital letters. The name of the command set is listed
parenthetically below the keywords in initial caps.
Recalling the Previous Command Line

command at the prompt and the previous command will display on your screen.

directory.
