To complete a command or option that you have partially typed, press Tab or Spacebar. If the partially typed letters uniquely identify a command, the complete command name appears. Otherwise, a message indicates that your entry is ambiguous or invalid. Possible command completions are displayed if your entry is ambiguous.

You can also use command completion on filenames and usernames. To display all possible values, type one or more characters followed immediately by a question mark. To complete these partial entries, press Tab only. Pressing Spacebar does not work.

Online Help

The CLI provides context-sensitive help at every level of the command hierarchy. The help information tells you which commands are available at the current level in the hierarchy and provides a brief description of each.

To get help while in the CLI, type a question mark (?) in one of the following ways:

■Type a question mark at the command-line prompt. The CLI lists the available commands and options. For examples, see “CLI Operational Mode” on page 92 and “CLI Configuration Mode” on page 93.

■Type a question mark after entering the complete name of a command or command option. The CLI lists the available commands and options, then redisplays the command names and options that you typed:

user@host> request ?
Possible completions:
chassis	Perform chassis-specific operations
ipsec	Perform IP Security operations
message	Send text message to other users
routing-engine	Log in to Routing Engine
security	Perform security-level operations
services	Perform service application operations
support	Perform JUNOS support tasks
system	Perform system-level operations
user@host> request

■Type a question mark in the middle of a command name. The CLI lists possible command completions that match the letters you have entered so far, then redisplays the letters that you typed. For example, to list all operational mode commands that start with the letter s, type the following:

user@host> s?
Possible completions:
set	Set CLI properties, date/time, craft interface
message
show	Show system information
ssh	Start secure shell on another host
start	Start shell
user@host> s
