Command Line Interpreter class.
This class contains a set of commands, which are executed via a PNotifier, when entered via a PChannel.
The system supports multiple simultaneous interpreter which may access the same command set. For example several telnet sessions.
Note that the various command interpreters could be operating in different threads, so care should be taken for sybchronisation issues on the object being acted upon via the PNotifiers.

PCLI::PCLI | ( | const char * | prompt = NULL | ) |

virtual PCLI::~PCLI | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Destroy the command line interpreter.
This will call Stop() to assure everything is cleaned up before exiting.

Add a command line interpreter context to the system.
If context is NULL then CreateContext() is called to create one.

Get usage prefix for if Arguments::WriteUsage() called.
Default is "Usage: ".
References m_commandUsagePrefix.

) | [virtual] |
Received a login name/pasword to be verified.
Note that the m_username or m_password field must be non-empty for a log in sequence to occur, even if this function is overridden and the memnbers not actually used for validation.
If the m_username is an empty string, but m_password is not, then it the username not prompted for, just the password is required. The reverse is also poassible and only a username entry required.
Default returns true if parameters are equal to m_username, m_password respectively.
