# Cli Example This example shows how to use the `Cli` component to setup and run a command line interface (CLI) on the ESP. The `Cli` and associated `LineInput` classes support: * ctrl+a (move to beginning of line) * ctrl+e (move to end of line) * ctrl+n (move up a line / previous input history) * ctrl+p (move down a line / next input history) * ctrl+k (delete from the cursor to the end of the line) * ctrl+b (move the cursor back one character) * ctrl+f (move the cursor forward one character) * ctrl+l (clear the screen) ## How to use example ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output  https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/213467/231188170-47f45641-fc44-4cc6-b673-506e643a5e02.mp4 Showing terminal resize and support for `ctrl+l`: https://github.com/esp-cpp/espp/assets/213467/54c362a7-99f2-4d8a-aa26-4498646f86e6
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espp/cli=1.0.10:example"
