Release Information

Function introduced in Junos OS Release 9.5R2.

Support for the slax namespace http://xml.libslax.org/slax added in Junos OS Release 12.2.

The prefix associated with the namespace URI should be defined in the prefix-to-namespace mapping in the style sheet.

Parameters

string
—

CLI prompt text.

Return Value

user-input
—

Text typed by the user and stored as a string.

Usage Examples

The following example shows how to prompt for a password that is not echoed back to the user:

var $password = jcs:get-secret("Enter password: ");
