1.4.2 Completing a Partial Command Name

If you cannot remember a command name (or if you want to reduce the amount of typing
you have to perform) enter the first few letters of a command, then press the Tab key. The
command line parser completes the command if the string entered is unique to the
command mode. If your keyboard does not have a Tab key, press Ctrl-I.
The CLI recognizes a command once you have entered enough characters to make the
command unique. If you enter "conf" within the privileged EXEC mode, the CLI associates
the entry with the configure command, since only the configure command begins with
.
conf
In the following example, the CLI recognizes a unique string in the privileged EXEC mode
when the Tab key is pressed:
RFSwitch# conf<Tab>
RFSwitch# configure
When using the command completion feature, the CLI displays the full command name.
The command is not executed until the Return or Enter key is pressed. Modify the
command if the full command was not what you intended in the abbreviation. If entering
a set of characters (indicating more than one command), the system lists all commands
beginning with that set of characters.
Enter a question mark (?) to obtain a list of commands beginning with that set of
characters. Do not leave a space between the last letter and the question mark (?).
For example, entering
RFSwitch# co?
copy? commit
