Usage Guidelines

If the prompt mode is set to quiet, the system does not provide prompt messages when operations leading to data loss are executed, such as deleting or overwriting files. Therefore, this prompt mode should be used with caution.

Example

# Set the prompt mode to quiet. When you rename a copied file test.txt using an existing file name test1.txt, no prompt message is displayed.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] file prompt quiet
[HUAWEI] quit
<HUAWEI> copy test.txt test1.txt

# Set the prompt mode to alert.

[HUAWEI] file prompt alert
[HUAWEI] quit
<HUAWEI> copy test.txt test1.txt
