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
