Help for an individual command is also displayed if the command is entered without the proper arguments.

Tip! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The tab key can be used to automatically complete words in the CLI. This function works for commands as well as
arguments. For example, typing the letter "t" followed by the tab key results in "time" being entered in the command
line. Likewise, "da<tab>" auto-completes to the "date" command. However, "d<tab>" does not auto-complete,
because it is ambiguous between the "date" and "del" commands.

To display a list of sub-commands and arguments for any command, press the tap key twice after entering the
command. (A space is required between the command and the <tab><tab>.) For example, type "lter add
<tab><tab>" to display a list of all the arguments that can be used to complete the command.
