Input command line

The command line support various nice features like command history, tab completion for completing the commands and arguments while typing, etc.

A very brief overview of the input command line properties:

  • Commands and their arguments are separated via whitespace. Whitespace characters are: space, tab, period.

  • Numeric values can be prefixed by 0x representing hexadecimal notation.

  • Numeric values can be suffixed by k and K (representing multiplication by 1000 and 1024) and M (representing multiplication by 1048576).

  • String values should be surrounded by quotes (as in "abcd").
