10 Configuring CLI Objects

The CLI object allows you to set the ME command line interface display settings.

cli

Sets the CLI top-level prompt and the output display lines. Set either the maximum number of lines to display in a single screen page or set to continuous scrolling. When you use paged output, the --More-- prompt operates on the following keystrokes:

  • [Enter]: Displays the next line of text

  • [Tab]: Displays the remainder of the text

  • [Esc], Q, or q: No more text

  • Any keystroke: Displays the next page of text

To temporarily change the CLI display mode without changing the default configuration, use the display action at the top level of the CLI hierarchy.
