Command Features
The command language has several built in features that make it easier to use. When abbreviating commands, it is sometimes hard to remember the commands and their syntax. Using command completion and positional help aids in jogging your memory of the commands and their parameters while you are typing in a command string.
Command Retrieval Command retrieval retrieves commands from the history of previous commands entered. You can display the current command history using the history command. You can change the number of commands kept in the command history buffer using the set command history command.
^p | recall the previous command in the history list |
^n | recall the next command in the history list |
Positional Help Positional help displays the list of possible parameters when you type ? after any command or parameter. It then redisplays the line you typed, without the ?, so you can enter the parameter you wish to use. This helps you find the parameter you need, and add it to your command, without having to retype the entire command string. Be sure to leave a space between the keyword and the question mark to use positional help.
Command The escape key provides command completion. If you press the escape key before Completion you finish typing a command or parameter, the rest of the command or parameter will be displayed (completed), and you can continue entering the command. If the
command or parameter is ambiguous, the bell will ding, and the display will not change.
