Completion of command entries

Description
The command interpreter of the Command Line Interface supports you when you enter
commands.
As soon as the first characters of the command have been entered in the input line, the system
can complete the entry as long as the character string is unambiguous.
This can be repeated after entering further characters.
Procedure
Enter the first characters of the command.
Press the tab key.
Result
The command interpreter completes the input as long as the command is unambiguous.
If you enter a character string that cannot be completed to form a command, an error message
is displayed.
● The command is not unique: % Ambiguous Command
● The command is unknown: % Invalid Command
● The command is incomplete: % Incomplete command
If the entry is not yet complete, enter further characters.
With ?, you obtain a list of the possible commands.
Repeat this if necessary until the command is complete and can execute.
