7-2 Using the Administrative Interface
If you enter a command incorrectly, a message is displayed indicating the type of error
that occurred. For example, typing a nonexistent command gives the following
message:
SYS_console> pin
command <pin> not found
If the command exists but the number of parameters is incorrect, the following
message is displayed:
SYS_console> ping
too few arguments
To get an explanation of the command’s parameters, add a question mark (?) after the
command name:
SYS_console> ping ?
ping IP traffic generator
[arg #0] destination IP address
[arg #1] number of packets to send or 0 for endless ping
SYS_console> ping _
Note that the command is reprinted after the prompt, and you have only to add the
necessary parameters. If a question mark is added after the first parameter, then the
same explanation is provided and the previous command, including the provided
parameters, is re-displayed:
SYS_console> ping 129.1.1.7 ?
ping IP traffic generator
[arg #0] destination IP address
[arg #1] number of packets to send or 0 for endless ping
SYS_console> ping 129.1.1.7 _
The Administrative Interface provides a history of the last commands. To obtain the
last command in the command history, press <!> or Ctrl-P at the prompt.
To correct a command line, you may use the following special keys (see the help-kbd
command):
•
<!> or Ctrl-P For the previous command
•
Ctrl-W To delete the previous word
•
Ctrl-U To erase the entire line
