Command Completion
You do not always have to remember or type the full command or option name for
the CLI to recognize it. To display all possible command or option completions,
type the partial command followed immediately by a question mark (?).
To complete a command or option that you have partially typed, press Tab
or Spacebar. If the partially typed letters uniquely identify a command,
the complete command name appears. Otherwise, a message indicates
that your entry is ambiguous or invalid. Possible command completions
are displayed if your entry is ambiguous.
You can also use command completion on filenames and usernames.
To display all possible values, type one or more characters followed
immediately by a question mark. To complete these partial entries, press
Tab only. Pressing Spacebar does not work.

level in the hierarchy and provides a brief description of each.
To get help while in the CLI, type a question mark (?) in one of the following ways:
Type a question mark at the command-line prompt. The CLI lists the available
commands and options. For examples, see “CLI Operational Mode” on
page 60 and “CLI Configuration Mode” on page 61.
