This example 1 shows the results for each help key. Comment lines have been added to the example to
clarify what is shown; the comments are in italics and begin with an exclamation point (!).
Example: Using Context-sensitive Help
! Show possible next input for a command that begins with ‘show a’:
SWI2210-XXXX# show a?
aaa Login methods
access Access management
access-list Access list
aggregation Aggregation port configuration
! The same, but without descriptions:
SWI2210-XXXX# show a<TAB>
aaa access access-list aggregation
! If the user enters a ‘g’, the word ‘aggregation’ is the only possibility:
SWI2210-XXXX# show ag?
aggregation Aggregation port configuration
<cr>
! Pressing <TAB> now expands the word fully:
SWI2210-XXXX# show aggregation
! Possible next input is displayed with a press of ‘?’:
SWI2210-XXXX# show aggregation ?
| Output modifiers
mode Traffic distribution mode
<cr>
! The syntax is displayed with another press of ‘?’:
SWI2210-XXXX# show aggregation ?
show aggregation [ mode ]
! This shows that there is an optional ‘mode’ word (square brackets indicate an option).
! Repeated presses of ‘?’ toggles display between next possible input and syntax:
SWI2210-XXXX# show aggregation ?
| Output modifiers
mode Traffic distribution mode
<cr>
SWI2210-XXXX# show aggregation ?
show aggregation [ mode ]
! Finally, the syntax display is also directly available with Ctrl+Q:
SWI2210-XXXX# show aggregation ^Q
show aggregation [ mode ]
