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 acc and press Tab at the CLI prompt from the / level, the access option will be completed.

--:- / cli-> cd acc<Tab>
