Obtaining Help
Obtain a list of keywords and a brief functional description of those keywords at any CLI mode using the ? or help command:
• To list the keywords available in the current mode, enter ? at the prompt or after a keyword.
• Enter ? after a prompt lists all of the available keywords. The output of this command is the same for the help command.
Dell#?
start Start Shell
capture Capture Packet
cd Change current directory

copy Copy from one file to another
--More--
• Enter ? after a partial keyword lists all of the keywords that begin with the specied letters.
Dell(conf)#cl?
clock
Dell(conf)#cl
• Enter [space]? after a keyword lists all of the keywords that can follow the specied keyword.
Dell(conf)#clock ?
summer-time Configure summer (daylight savings) time

Dell(conf)#clock
Entering and Editing Commands
Notes for entering commands.
• The CLI is not case-sensitive.
• You can enter partial CLI keywords.
– Enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command. For example, you cannot enter cl as a partial keyword
because both the clock and class-map commands begin with the letters “cl.” You can enter clo, however, as a partial keyword
because only one command begins with those three letters.
• The TAB key auto-completes keywords in commands. Enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command.
• The UP and DOWN arrow keys display previously entered commands (refer to Command History).
• The BACKSPACE and DELETE keys erase the previous letter.
• Key combinations are available to move quickly across the command line. The following table describes these short-cut key
combinations.
