If you type a legal string and then you press "?" without a space character before it, then you will
either get a description of the command that you have typed so far or the possible command/
parameter completions. If you press "?" after a space character and "<cr>" is shown, this means

show ?
show c?
show clock?
show clock ?
show interfaces ?
You can also enter "help" to view a description of the interactive help system.

"cli clear-history". In case of ambiguity (more than one completion option is available, that is),
then you can hit double tabs to obtain the disambiguation options. Thus, if you are in Enable

switch # c
(There are three commands that start with the letter "c":

The following session shows how to move between command modes:
switch >
switch > enable
