2.8. Running the CLI

The CLI for Linux is called xe, and for Windows is called xe.exe. The Windows version is under /SDK/windows-cli. This needs to be copied onto a PC running Windows XP or higher, and must have .Net 2.0 installed. When running in the SDKVM, the Linux CLI is already installed and in the default path. Typing xe in the SDKVM console launches the CLI.

2.8.1. Tab Completion

The CLI has comprehensive tab completion that allows discovery of the commands and parameters. On launching xe, hitting tab twice shows all the commands that the CLI has.
