Questions tagged [command-prompt]

The command prompt is the string of text that a command-line interpreter displays to you, the user, to prompt you for input in interactive mode. For programs with textual user interfaces in general, not specifically addressing their prompts for user input, see either the CONSOLE-APPLICATION (Microsoft Windows) or TERMINAL (Unices, MacOS 10, and Linux) tags. See COMMAND-LINE or SuperUser for commands invoked by command lines at a command prompt.

This tag covers questions addressing how to control the command prompt in various command interpreters, from sh to COMMAND, and programs that issue command prompts.
