Command Line Interface
Structure and syntax
The CLI is composed of a set of commands that follow a basic syntax:
<command> <subcommand>[<target>][<option>
<argument>]...[<option> <argument>]
After you log in to the CLI, enter help to display a list of the commands that
you have permission to use. A command is a specific order to the system to
perform an action. A subcommand applies an operation to a command.
Each option must be followed by an argument.
[<option> <argument>]
You can use multiple [<option> <argument>]elements in one
command.
Each option can be specified in short form (efficient) or in long form. The
short form is specified with a single hyphen followed by a single letter:
-n
The long form is specified with a double hyphen followed by a keyword:
--name
An argument is a character or string of characters.
The use of brackets [ ] in this guide indicates that the
parameter is optional.
You must use a space to separate an option and its argument
when using the long form. The space is optional when using
the short form.
