partial commands, or enter a partial command followed by the “?” character to
display a list of possible matches. You can also use the following editing keystrokes
for command-line processing:

the “show running-config” command includes the following keyword options:
Console#show running-config ?

Console#show running-config | ?
begin Begin with line that matches
exclude Exclude lines that match
