1.5.2 Completing a Partial Command Name

Enter the first few letters of the command and press the Tab key if you do not remember the complete
command name, or to reduce the amount of typing. The command line parser completes the command if the
string entered is unique to the command mode. Use Ctrl-I if your keyboard does not have a Tab key.
The CLI recognizes a command once you have entered enough characters to make the command unique. For
example, if you enter conf in privileged EXEC mode, the CLI associates your entry with the configure command
only because the configure command begins with
In the following example, the CLI recognizes the unique string for privileged EXEC mode of conf when the Tab
key is pressed:
RFS7000# conf<Tab>
RFS7000# configure
When you use the command completion feature, the CLI displays the full command name. The command is not
executed until you use the Return or Enter key. This way, the command can be modified if the full command
was not what you intended by abbreviation. Enter a set of characters that could indicate more than one
command to list commands that begin with that set of characters.
Alternatively, enter a question mark (?) to obtain a list of commands that begin with that set of characters. Do
not leave a space between the last letter you enter and the question mark (?).
For example, entering
co?
RFS7000# co?
copy? commit
RFS7000# co
NOTE The characters entered before the question mark are reprinted to the screen to
complete the command entry.
