Check Command Syntax

The user interface provides error isolation by using a caret symbol (^ as an indicator. The ^ symbol appears at the point in the command string where you have entered an incorrect command, keyword, or ar- gument. The error location indicator and interactive help system allow you to find and correct syntax errors easily.

In this example, context-sensitive help is used to check the syntax for setting the clock.

Router# clock ?

setSet the time and date Router# clock
