Command Syntax

Command Abbreviations

All commands and parameters in the CLI can be truncated to an abbreviation of any length, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. For example, version can be abbreviated ver.

For ambiguous commands, type the beginning letters on the command line and then use the Tab key to toggle through all the possible commands beginning with these letters.
