Command Completion
The CLI features command completion, which means that when starting to enter a command it can
be completed by pressing the Tab" key.
For example, entering a at the firewall command group selection, followed by a Tab" stroke
results in the full assign command being completed. Entering firewall a from top level gives the
same result.
For the completion to be successful, the part to be added must be unique. Completion works for the
command groups, for the commands, for the options, but not for values.
EXAMPLE:
=>phonebook
[phonebook]=>d “Tab“
[phonebook]=>delete
