Using Line Editing Commands CLI and RS Basics
Note Some CLI modes may have the same commands. For example, the configure
mode has
port
commands. These
port
commands are for making configuration
changes to ports on the RS. The enable mode also has
port
commands. The
port
commands found in this mode display port statistics. They are not designed to
change the way a port functions like the
port
commands in the configure mode
do.
3.4 USING LINE EDITING COMMANDS
The CLI provides line editing capabilities that are similar to Emacs, a Unix text editor. Use line editing keystrokes to
move forward or backward on a line, delete or transpose characters, or delete portions of a line. The line editing
commands in the CLI are detailed in the following table.
