Use these conventions for the Sui command line tools published by Mysten Labs.

Authoritative reference: https://docs.sui.io/references/cli and the per-command pages it links (/references/cli/client, /client/ptb, /completion, /keytool, /external-signers, /move, /replay, /trace-analysis, /validator).
Verify a local install before using examples: sui --version. Manage versions with suiup (https://github.com/MystenLabs/suiup) rather than ad-hoc binary swaps; pin the intended network release explicitly, for example suiup install sui@testnet.
For Move coverage, test traces, or debugger/profiler traces, use a CLI with tracing/debug support (suiup install sui@testnet --debug for release builds managed by suiup, or enable the tracing feature when building from source).
Append --json to most commands to get machine-readable output (useful for scripts and large result sets).

The Sui CLI is grouped by feature. Common documented groups are:
