Chapter 12: Command Line Interface (CLI)
236
Completion of Commands
The CLI supports the completion of partially-entered commands. After
entering the first few characters of an entry, press the Tab key. If the
characters form a unique match, the CLI will complete the entry.
If no match is found, the CLI displays the valid entries for that level.
If multiple matches are found, the CLI displays all valid entries.
Enter additional text to make the entry unique and press the Tab key to
complete the entry.
