  • 1.  command line argument with no parameter value

    Posted 07-17-2013 05:59

    I want to include a command line parameter that does not have an associated value.

    Example: op show_paths extensive

     

    How should I construct the <arguments>  XML for CLI help and how do I check for the existence of 'extensive'?

    it should be in pair. You may not use single argument.

    Charlie,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    I'd like to see op scripts to be able to mimic Junos-style CLI. Ops teams learn 'show route extensive'. Telling them that they should run 'op show_paths extensive 1' or 'op show_paths_extensive'  is a bit kludgy.
