SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI Modes
SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI operates in two modes:
Interactive (menu-driven). The CLI starts and prompts for user input. Based
on the input, the CLI executes the specified commands until terminated by
the user. Use this mode to do multiple operations. 3 Interactive Commands
covers this interface.
Non-interactive (command line). The CLI starts, executes the functions
defined by the list of parameters provided, and then terminates. Use this
mode to run SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI from a script file or when you want
to do a single operation. 4 Non-Interactive Commands covers this interface.

FC/CNA HBA CLI is case sensitive for that specific file.
