As both help and ? have the exact same functionality in the SpeedTouch™ CLI, the help command may always be equally
replaced by the ? command.
Executing e.g.
help firewall
from top level gives the same result as executing
help
from the firewall command group
selection.
Example:
Entering help followed by a specific command, e.g.
help firewall assign
(starting from top level) or
help assign
(executed
from the firewall command group selection) results in a description of the syntax for the command.
Example:
Executing help all will generate the complete listing of all available CLI commands with syntax description.
Command Completion
The CLI features command completion, which means that when starting to enter a command it can be completed by
pressing the TAB key.
For the completion to be successful, the part to be added must be unique. Completion works for the command groups,
for the commands, for the options, but not for values.
Example:
Pressing
a
and TAB at the
firewall
command group selection results in the full
assign
command being completed. Entering
firewall a
and pressing the TAB key from top level gives the same result.
