Claim One:
1. A method comprising: extracting, with a processing system, macroinstructions that are hard-coded into parser code of a command line interface (CLI) parser, wherein the macroinstructions define parse nodes utilized by the CLI parser to analyze whether one or more CLI commands input to a CLI prompt have a proper CLI syntax; generating a parse graph from the macroinstructions with the processing system, wherein the parse graph includes a representation of the parse nodes defined by the macroinstructions; hiding selected information within the parse nodes to create condensed parse nodes with the processing system, wherein the hiding prevents further processing of the selected information; simplifying selected complex patterns in the parse graph to create simplified parse graph patterns with the processing system; creating, with the processing system, branches on an AND/OR command tree from the parse nodes, the condensed parse nodes, and the simplified parse graph patterns; and creating an exportable representation of the AND/OR command tree with the processing system.
