Entering help followed by a specific command, e.g. :help firewall assign (starting from
top level) or help assign (executed from the firewall command group selection) results
in a description of the syntax for the command:
=>help firewall assign
Assign a chain to an entry point.
Syntax : assign hook = <{input|sink|forward|source|output}> chain =
<string>
Parameters :
hook = <{input|sink|forward|source|output}>
Name of hook to assign chain to.
chain = <string>
Name of chain to use.
=>
Executing help all from top level will generate the complete listing of all available CLI
commands (including syntax description). If executed from within a CLI command
group, the listing of all available CLI commands from that CLI command group (including
syntax description) are shown.
The CLI features command completion, which means that when starting to type a
command it can be completed by pressing TAB.
For the completion to be successful, the part already typed has to be unique. Comple-
tion works for the command groups, for the commands, for the options, but not for
values.
For example, typing the letter a at the firewall command group selection, followed by
pressing TAB results in the full assign command being completed. Entering firewall a
from top level and pressing TAB gives the same result: the command is completed to
firewall assign.
You can move the cursor to the beginning of the command line by pressing "Ctrl+A"; to
move the cursor to the end of the Command Line press "Ctrl+E".
You can break off a command by pressing "Ctrl+G". This can be useful in a situation
where a user wants to abort the command. This can be useful to break off commands
for which the user does not know the value of a required command parameter.
The CLI allows you to retake commands you have executed before during a CLI session.
To scroll through the previously executed CLI commands use UP ARROW and DOWN
ARROW.
To execute a retaken command, press ENTER.
