CHAPTER 8 CLI Operations
8.1.6.1 Input string requirements
The following requirements apply to command input strings:
z All entered characters must be en-size characters.
z Only uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters, numeric characters, symbols,
and the space character can be used.
z Alphabetic characters are treated as case-insensitive. (However, passwords are
case-sensitive.)
z One space character must be entered between tokens. (Two or more space
characters are recognized as one space character.)
8.1.6.2 Competition between commands
If executing of a command would cause resource access conflict, such as if the same
command as a currently running command is entered, the command is not executed.
8.1.6.3 Help function
If the question mark or [?] key is pressed when only the shell prompt is displayed, the
available commands in the user's current command mode are displayed together with
simple descriptions.
If the [Space] and [?] keys are pressed during entry of a command, simple
descriptions of the options and parameters that can follow the entered string are
displayed.
8.1.6.4 Command name abbreviation function
A command name can be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation does not match the
abbreviation of another command name. For example, "rel" can be entered as an
abbreviation for the reload command.
Since the available commands vary depending on the command class and command
mode, their abbreviations may be different.
