Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters
as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from any other
currently available commands or parameters. You can use the Tab key to complete
partial commands, or enter a partial command followed by the “?” character to
display a list of possible matches. You can also use the following editing keystrokes
for command-line processing:
Output Modifiers Some of the show commands include options for output modifiers. For example,
the “show running-config” command includes the following keyword options:
Console#show running-config ?

The output modifiers include options which indicate a string that occurs at the
beginning of a line, in lines that are to be excluded, or in lines that are to be
included.
Console#show running-config | ?
begin Begin with line that matches
exclude Exclude lines that match
include Include lines that match
