The question mark matches on zero occurrences or one occurrence of a pattern.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains "dg" or "deg":
de?g
Note:
Normally when you type a question mark, the CLI lists the commands or options at
that CLI level that begin with the character or string you entered. However, if you enter Ctrl-
V and then type a question mark, the question mark is inserted into the command line,
allowing you to use it as part of a regular expression.
