Unified Command-Line Interface
UCLI Command-Alias File
You can call UCLI commands with aliases defined in a
command-alias file. You can either create this file or use the default
command-alias file.
Default Alias File
The default alias file .uclirc in the VCS installation directory
contains default aliases for UCLI commands. You can edit this file to
add custom aliases for UCLI commands. By default, UCLI looks for
the alias file at the following three places in the given order:
• Current work directory
• User’s home directory
• VCS installation directory
Operating System Commands
Operating System (OS) commands can be used at the UCLI prompt
as follows:
ucli% exec OS_command
In the interactive mode, OS commands run automatically. To disable
automatic execution of OS commands, set the auto_noexec
variable as follows:
set ::auto_noexec anything
