Obtaining Help
Obtain a list of keywords and a brief functional description of those keywords at any CLI mode using the ?
or
help command:
• Enter
? at the prompt or after a keyword to list the keywords available in the current mode.
•
? after a prompt lists all of the available keywords. The output of this command is the same for the
help command.
Figure 2-6. ? Command Example
• ? after a partial keyword lists all of the keywords that begin with the specified letters.
Figure 2-7. Keyword? Command Example
• A keyword followed by [space]? lists all of the keywords that can follow the specified keyword.

Entering and Editing Commands
When entering commands:
• The CLI is not case sensitive.
• You can enter partial CLI keywords.
• You must enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command. For example,
cl
cannot be entered as a partial keyword because both the clock and class-map commands begin
with the letters “cl.”
clo, however, can be entered as a partial keyword because only one command
begins with those three letters.
• The TAB key auto-completes keywords in commands. You must enter the minimum number of letters
to uniquely identify a command.
