There are two formatting options:

a particular command. A space between a command and a
question mark is required.
abbreviated command? - Provides a list of commands that begin
with a particular character string. There is no space between the

recognized by typing an unambiguous prefix, for
example, type “sh” and the software responds with
“show”.
 Tab key - Pressing the Tab key fills in the rest of the
keyword. For example, typing “di” and pressing the Tab
key enters “disable” on the command line.
