Keywords and Parameters

CLI commands are made up of two primary elements: keywords and parameters.

Keywords

Every command requires at least one keyword; however, a command can contain
other optional keywords. The keyword(s) must be typed into the CLI accurately for
it to be recognized. These are examples of keywords:
You can abbreviate keywords; however, you must enter enough initial characters to
unambiguously identify the command. For example, if the keyword you want to
specify is map-class and you enter only map-, an error appears. The error indicates
that one or more possible keywords begin with map-, thus making your entry
ambiguous.
