string.

Command Abbreviation

To facilitate command entry, you do not need to enter CLI commands in their entirety. You may enter
just enough of each command or argument to make it uniquel y iden tifiab le.
When enough characters have been entered to uniquely identify a c om mand or keyword in a c om mand
string, you may leave the partially-typed command or keyword, enter a space, and then add additional
keywords or arguments, or you can press the Tab key to complete the commands or keywords to improve
readability.

Editing the CLI
Command-line editing lets you modify a command line command that you have just entered or a
command line that you entered previously in the CLI session. The CLI supports a variety of ways to
move about and edit the currently displayed command line. Table 1 -4 lists and describes these options.
