Command Completion

If the command entered is incomplete, invalid or has missing or invalid parameters,

then the appropriate error message is displayed. This assists in entering the

correct command. By pressing Tab after an incomplete command is entered, the

system will attempt to identify and complete the command. If the characters

already entered are not enough for the system to identify a single matching

command, press ? to display the available commands matching the characters

already entered.

The CLI has a range of keyboard shortcuts to assist in editing the CLI commands.

The following table describes the CLI shortcuts.
