Command Completion
CLI can complete partially entered commands when the user presses the
<tab> or <space> key. If a command entered is not complete, is not valid,
or if some parameters of the command are not valid or missing, an error
message is displayed to assist in entering the correct command. By pressing
the <tab> key, an incomplete command is changed into a complete
command. If the characters already entered are not enough for the system to
identify a single matching command, the <?>key displays the available
commands matching the characters already entered.
