CLI Output Filtering
Many CLI show commands include considerable content to display to the
user. This can make output confusing and cumbersome to parse through to
find the information of desired importance. The CLI Output Filtering feature
allows the user, when executing CLI show display commands, to
optionally specify arguments to filter the CLI output to display only desired
information. The result is to simplify the display and make it easier for the
user to find the information the user is interested in.
The main functions of the CLI Output Filtering feature are:
• Pagination Control
– Supports enabling/disabling paginated output for all show CLI
commands. When disabled, output is displayed in its entirety. When
enabled, output is displayed page-by-page such that content does not
scroll off the terminal screen until the user presses a key to continue. -
-More-- or (q)uit is displayed at the end of each page.
– When pagination is enabled, press the return key to advance a single
line, press q or Q to stop pagination, or press any other key to advance
a whole page. These keys are not configurable.
NOTE: Although some show commands already support pagination, the
implementation is unique per command and not generic to all commands.
