Document that CLI operation are invoken by colon

XMLWordPrintable

      https://access.stage.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-jboss-enterprise-application-platform/version-7.0/management-cli-guide/#reference_mgmt_cli_operations

      Documentation states that:

      The available operations for a resource can be exposed by using the read-operation-names 
      operation or by using tab completion. Operation descriptions can be displayed by using the 
      read-operation-description operation.
      

      However user need to use a colon syntax to invoke a CLI operation:
      Tab completion
      list commands

      [standalone@embedded /] 
      :                     clear                 data-source           echo                  if                    patch                 read-operation        stop-embedded-server  unset                 
      ...
      

      list operations

      [standalone@embedded /] :
      add-namespace               list-get                    product-info                read-children-types         remove-namespace            take-snapshot               whoami                      
      ...

      read-operation-names operation doesn't work without a colon

      [standalone@embedded /] read-operation-names
      Unexpected command 'read-operation-names'. Type 'help --commands' for the list of supported commands.
      [standalone@embedded /] :read-operation-names
      {
          "outcome" => "success",
          "result" => [
              "add-namespace",
              "add-schema-location",
      

      This could be quite confusing since table shows only operation names without a colon character. There is a difference between using e.g. :reload operation (non blocking) and reload command (blocking).
