Prompt(V1.3) ARP User's Manual Prompt(V1.3)
NAME
Prompt - set the prompt for the CLI or Shell.
SYNOPSIS
Prompt "Prompt"
DESCRIPTION
Prompt sets a new prompt for the current CLI. Prompt with
no argument resets the CLI prompt to the default, which is
just "> ". Shells differ in their interpretation of special
characters for the prompt. For example, the ARP Shell ASH
will accept the following characters in its prompt string:
%S or %P - expands to pathname of current directory
%N - expands to current CLI number.
ASH will also expand environment variables and do command
substitution inside of a prompt. See the Ash Manual or the
manual for your preferred shell for more information.
NOTE that the ARP Prompt and CD no longer provide builtin
support for "%P"; now you should use the capabilities
provided by your CLI.
