command string
After displaying the help information, the system enters the command string up to the question mark on the
input line and waits for you to complete the string. You do not have to retype the string.
If there is no space between a partially-entered command string and the question mark, a list of possible
completions are displayed, as shown above.
When enough characters have been entered to uniquely identify a command or keyword in a command string,
you may leave it as-is, enter a space, and then add additional keywords or arguments, or you can press the
<Tab> key to complete the commands or keywords to improve readability.
Command-Line Editing
Command-line editing is used to modify a command line you have just entered or a command line that had
been entered previously in the current CLI session. Command strings are displayed on the command line
when you:
• enter the strings manually
•use quick-help
• scroll through the command history
The CLI supports a variety of ways to move about and edit the currently displayed command line. These are
listed in the table below.
