Context-Sensitive Help
The ICLI implements several hundred commands ranging from the very simple to the very
complex. It is therefore imperative that the user can be assisted in entering syntactically correct
commands as well as discovering relevant commands. These objectives are supported by the
context sensitive help features.
Table 3 - Context-Sensitive Help

privilege level (see Understanding Privilege Levels, page 15).
