OpenThread CLI Reference

The OpenThread CLI exposes configuration and management APIs via a command line interface. Use the CLI to play with OpenThread, which can also be used with additional application code. The OpenThread test scripts use the CLI to execute test cases.

Separator and escaping characters

The whitespace character (' ') is used to delimit the command name and the different arguments, together with tab ('\t') and new line characters ('\r', '\n').

Some arguments might require to accept whitespaces on them. For those cases the backslash character ('\') can be used to escape separators or the backslash itself.

Example:

> networkname Test\ Network
Done
> networkname
Test Network
Done
