About the Command Format in This Guide
In this Guide , these formats are used to express commands and parameters.
Command Completion
You can request a command completion at any time by pressing the
Tab
key.
If the partial command you’ve typed can be completed by only one possible option,
pressing
Tab
adds that option to the end of the line automatically.
If the partial command you’ve typed can be completed by one of several options,
pressing
Tab
lists those options and redisplays the partial command. If those
options have a common root, it is added to the partial command automatically. (If
the partial command you’ve typed can’t be completed with any option, pressing
Tab
has no effect.)
When options, such as a range of numbers or class of objects, can’t be listed, a
description appears instead, enclosed in angle brackets < >, to clarify what
information is being requested. For example, <
nam
e> or <
stripedepth
> (as shown
below).
