Context-Sensitive Help
In addition to the information that ACLI menus offer, context-sensitive help can assist you with navigation and configuration. Within this one-line entry, you have access to context-sensitive help that tells you what values are valid for a given field and when you have completed an entry. When the <ENTER> no further known parameters line appears, the ACLI is informing you that there is no subsequent information to enter.
To use the context-sensitive help, enter the name of the command or field with which you require assistance, followed by a <Space> and then a question mark (?). The context-sensitive help information appears.
In general, context-sensitive help provides more detailed information than within ACLI menus. For system commands, it prompts you about the information you need to enter to execute a system command successfully. For configuration elements, it prompts you with a brief description of the field, as well as available values, ranges of values, and data types.
Context-Sensitive Help for System Commands
The ACLI’s context-sensitive help feature displays information you need to complete system commands and the body of subcommands available for each system command. In the following example, the show command menu appears. Typing a ? after a system command asks if the system requires further information to complete a specific command. The system responds with a list of available subcommands.

Viewing Output With the More Prompt
When the output of a command is too large to fit your screen, the system displays the output in smaller sections. At the end of a section a message is displayed with your options:
- <Space> —Display the next section of output
- <q>—Quits and returns to the system prompt
- <c>—Displays the rest of the output in its entirety
