11.3.3 Command Completion
If input is terminated by pressing the TAB key, the CLI prints the remaining
characters of a partial keyword or argument up to the point of ambiguity.
For example, typing sh followed by pressing the TAB key will result in
printing the command up to show. If one or more of the previous words are
not correct, auto completion does not work. Some detailed examples are
shown below.
Example:
ecn330# config dslport 2.3.4 alarms line-initialization-
failure e
Pressing the TAB key will result in:
ecn330# config dslport 2.3.4 alarms line-initialization-
failure enabled
If the value is not uniquely defined, a list of the possible options is dis-
played, that is:
ecn330# config dslport 2.3.4 alarms line-initialization-
failure
Pressing the TAB key will result in:
line-initialization-failure: enable, disable
ecn330# config dslport 2.3.4 alarms line-
initialization-failure
If the group of letters does not match any option nothing is displayed when
pressing the TAB key.
When the value must be either a certain range or a restricted set, only the
values in the restricted set is auto-completed, that is only the “all” value.
