Portserver Help Screens - Digi PortServer/8 User Manual

PortServer Help Screens

On-line help for the PortServer's command language is available to you through context-sensitive
help screens. Help is available by entering a "?" either by itself or after part of a command line.
The screen will tell you which parameters are available to complete the command line.
At the PortServer prompt, enter a " ? " (question mark) with no other parameters to get the top
level help screen:
login: root
passwd:
#> ?
admin
exit
newpass
send
telnet
#>
For help on a specific command, type the command name followed by a question mark. The
example below asks for help for the command info:
#> info ?
Displays or clears statistics tables.
syntax: info (table_name)|(table_cmd)
tables:
network
udp
#> info
After you enter a request for help, the PortServer software will print the text before
the "?" for you on the next command line, anticipating your next command. For
example, after the request for help with info ? above, notice how the next
command prompt includes the word info already typed.
