==================
Interactive Mode
==================
In addition to running single commands from the command line, cliff
supports an interactive mode in which the user is presented with a
separate command shell. All of the command plugins available from the
command line are automatically configured as commands within the
shell.
Refer to the cmd2_ documentation for more details about features of
the shell.
.. _cmd2: http://packages.python.org/cmd2/index.html
Example
=======
The ``cliffdemo`` application enters interactive mode if no command is
specified on the command line.
::
(.venv)$ cliffdemo
(cliffdemo) help
Shell commands (type help <topic>):
===================================
cmdenvironment edit hi l list pause r save shell show
ed help history li load py run set shortcuts
Undocumented commands:
