| 324 | 18 The basic use of ``cmd2`` is identical to that of cmd_. |
| 19 | |
| 20 1. Create a subclass of ``cmd2.Cmd``. Define attributes and | |
| 21 ``do_*`` methods to control its behavior. Throughout this documentation, | |
| 22 we will assume that you are naming your subclass ``App``:: | |
| 23 | |
| 24 from cmd2 import Cmd | |
| 25 class App(Cmd): | |
| 26 # customized attributes and methods here | |
| 27 | |
| 28 2. Instantiate ``App`` and start the command loop:: | |
| 29 | |
| 30 app = App() | |
| 31 app.cmdloop() | |

| 332 | 44 These docs will refer to ``App`` as your ``cmd2.Cmd`` |
| 45 subclass, and ``app`` as an instance of ``App``. Of | |
| 46 course, in your program, you may name them whatever | |
| 47 you want. | |
