Autocompletion
Autocompletion allows you to type the first few letters of a command or navigation option and then
press
Tab
. The rest of the name is filled in automatically if the letters typed are unique to one
command or to a navigation option at that level. If the letters match more than one of the
commands or navigation options for that level, the matching options are listed.
For example, if you type
cd ov
and press
Tab
at the CLI prompt from the /units level, the overview
option will be completed.
--:- units cli-> cd ov
--:- units cli-> cd overview
If you then press
Enter
, you are changed to the overview level, and the overview level prompt
appears.
--:- overview cli->
The following example illustrates a case when more than one command matches the letters typed.
--:- units cli-> sh
shell show
