+Entering commands
+=================
+
+User interfaces
+---------------
+
+There are numerous user interfaces available for Bazaar.
+The core package provides a command line tool called **bzr** and
+graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are available as plug-ins.
+
+Using bzr
+---------
+
+The syntax is::
+
+ bzr [global-options] command [options and arguments]
+
+Global options affect how Bazaar operates and can appear either
+before or after ``command``. Command specific options must appear
+after the command but may be given either before, during or after any
+command-specific arguments.
+
+Common options
+--------------
+
+Some options are legal for all commands as shown below.
+
+ ========== ========= =================
+ Short form Long form Description
+ ========== ========= =================
+ -h --help get help
+ -v --verbose be more verbose
+ -q --quiet be more quiet
+ ========== ========= =================
+
+Quiet mode implies that only errors and warnings are displayed.
+This can be useful in scripts.
+
+Note: Most commands typically only support one level of verbosity though
+that may change in the future. To ask for a higher level of verbosity,
+simply specify the -v option multiple times.
