THOMSON SpeedTouch 580 Cli Reference Manual page 23

As both help and ? have the exact same functionality in the SpeedTouch™ CLI, the help command may always be equally
replaced by the ? command.
Executing e.g. help firewall from top level gives the same result as executing help from the firewall command group
selection.
Example:
=>firewall help
Following commands are available :
assign : Assign a chain to an entry point.
unassign : Clear a specific hook
list : Shows a list of all the hooks with the chains attached.
flush : Clears all hooks, chains and rules
tron : Enables verbose console messaging.
troff : Disables verbose console messaging.
Following command groups are available :
chain rule
=>
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.
Example:
=>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 will generate the complete listing of all available CLI commands with syntax description.
Command Completion
The CLI features command completion, which means that when starting to enter a command it can be completed by
pressing the TAB key.
For the completion to be successful, the part to be added must be unique. Completion works for the command groups,
for the commands, for the options, but not for values.
Example:
Pressing a and TAB at the firewall command group selection results in the full assign command being completed. Entering
firewall a and pressing the TAB key from top level gives the same result.
=>firewall
[firewall]=>"a+TAB"
[firewall]=>assign
