Using Command Completion Features

Using Keyword Lookup

Use the keyword-lookup function to display a list of valid keywords and arguments for a command.

To display the matches, enter a space after the last parameter and press Tab twice. (If only one matches, press Tab once to display)

Using Partial Keyword Lookup

Use the partial keyword-lookup function to display a list of commands that begin with a specific set of characters. To display the matches, press Tab twice immediately after the last parameter.

(If only one matches, press Tab once to display)

Using Command Completion

Use the command completion function to complete a command or keyword. When you enter a unique partial character string and press Tab , the system completes the command or keyword on the command line. For example, if you enter co at the privileged prompt and press Tab , the system completes the command as configure because it is the only command that matches the criteria.

If no completion can be done, no action is carried out and the system returns to the prompt and the last command. The cursor appears immediately after the keyword, allowing you to enter additional information.

Getting Command Help with Question Mark

At any time during a CLI session, you can display a help message by typing a question mark

(?) at the prompt.

You can use command ‐ syntax help to display a list of command, keyword, or argument options that are available for the command that you have entered. To use command ‐ syntax help, enter a question mark (?) in the place of a keyword or argument, including a space before the question mark. The CLI will display a list of available command options.
