HOW TO USE THE ACLI COMMAND ABBREVIATION AND COMPLETION
Command Abbreviation and Completion
This section describes how you can use abridged commands in the ACLI. Command
completion can save you extra keystrokes and increase efficiency.
Command
Abbreviation
Commands can be abbreviated to the minimum number of characters that identify
a unique selection. For example, you may abbreviate the configure terminal
command to “config t.” You cannot abbreviate the command to “c t” because more
than one command fits this criteria.
Tab Completion When you do not supply enough characters to identify a single selection, you can
press <Tab> to view a list of commands that begin with the character(s) you entered.
After you press <Tab>, the ACLI returns you to the system prompt and reprints the
character(s) you originally typed. This enables you to complete the command with
the characters that uniquely identify the command that you need. You can continue
this process until enough characters to identify a single command are entered.
