Handling of the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Help text after incomplete input of a command
s w i t c h > p i n g
< p i n g * >
U s a g e : p i n g [ - a r p ] { I P a d d r e s s }
s w i t c h >
ADVICE
To get a help text about the input of a parameter you have to enter the command without
parameters but with a following blank space and acknowledge it with Enter.
ADVICE
Help texts use curly brackets {} to symbolize a parameter. For alternatives the | character is
used. Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets [].
