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.

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
