1.4 Autocompletion
Autocompletion allows you to type the first few letters of a command or navigation option and then press
Tab. The rest of the name is filled in automatically if the letters typed are unique to one command or to a
navigation option at that level. If the letters match more than one of the commands or navigation options
for that level, the matching options are listed.
For example, if you type cd acc and press Tab at the CLI prompt from the / level, the access option will be
completed.
--:- / cli-> cd acc<Tab>
--:- / cli-> cd access
If you then press Enter, you are changed to the access level, and the access level prompt appears.
--:- access cli->
The following example illustrates a case when more than one command matches the letters typed.
--:- / cli-> sh<Tab>
shell show
1.5 Parameters
Some CLI commands take parameters. If you press Tab Tab after a command that requires a parameter,
you are prompted to enter the parameter.
