Command completion, editing, and history
The CLI supports command completion, command editing, and command history.
When entering commands interactively you can abbreviate their names and keywords. For example, you
can enter
sho cl
to run the
show cli-parameters
command. If you press
Tab
or
Ctrl+i
after typing
sufficient characters to uniquely identify the command or keyword, the remainder of the command or
keyword is displayed so you can confirm your intent. If you enter too few letters to uniquely identify a
keyword, pressing
Tab
or
Ctrl+i
will list commands or keywords that match the entered string and
redisplays the string so you can complete it.
When scripting commands, type commands in full to aid readability.
The history contains commands entered in the active CLI session. You can recall a command from the
history, edit it, and run it.

Size representations
Parameters such as names of users and volumes have a maximum length in bytes. ASCII characters are 1
byte; most Latin (Western European) characters with diacritics are 2 bytes; most Asian characters are 3
bytes.
Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10. Memory
(RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.
In the CLI, the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes can be set per user or per session; see
create user
and
set cli-parameters
. When entering storage-space sizes only, either base-2 or base-10 units
can be specified.
