Some commands also include keywords, which are indicated in the command
type. For example, name is a keyword for the services command.
CLI Help
Like the CLI for HP switches, the Services OS CLI provides help that displays
command syntax, including explanations of commands and command
options.
List Available Commands
The CLI help provides several ways to display the options available in a
particular context.:
■ ?
■ Tab key
For example, to view the commands available at the manager context, you
could type one of the following:
hostswitch(svcs-mod-<slot ID>:SvcOS)# ?
or
hostswitch(svcs-mod-<slot ID>:SvcOS)#
[Tab]
A list of commands available in the manager context would be displayed.
List Options for a Command
You can also use the ? to view the options for a particular command. For
example, you might enter:
hostzlswitch(svcs-mod-<slot ID>:SvcOS)# show ?
Command Completion
You can also use [Tab] to complete the current word in a command. To do so,
type one or more consecutive characters in a command and then press
[Tab]
(with no spaces allowed).
Displaying Help for a Command
You can display a list of help summaries for a particular command by typing:
hostzlswitch(svcs-mod-<slot ID>:SvcOS)# <command> help
