Getting Help on Commands at a Hierarchy Level

The CLI provides context-sensitive help at every level of the command hierarchy.
The help information tells you which commands are available at the current level in
the hierarchy and provides a brief description of each.
To get help while in the CLI, type ? . You do not need to press Enter after typing the
question mark. You have the following options:
! If you type the question mark at the command-line prompt, the CLI lists the
available commands and options.
! If you type the question mark after entering the complete name of a command
or command option, the CLI lists the available commands and options, then
redisplays the command names and options that you typed.
! If you type the question mark in the middle of a command name, the CLI lists
possible command completions that match the letters you have entered so far,
then redisplays the letters that you typed.
