Command Line shortcuts
Command stacking
As a shortcut, you can type multiple commands on a single line separated by forward slashes
(
/
). You can connect as many commands as required to access the menu option that you
want. For example, the command stack to access Access List menu from the
Main#
prompt is
as follows:
Command abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters that distinguish the
command from the others in the same menu or sub-menu. For example, the command shown
above could also be entered as follows:
Tab completion
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and pressing <Tab>, all
commands in that menu beginning with the letter you typed are displayed. By typing additional
letters, you can further refine the list of commands or options displayed. If only one command
matches the letter(s) when <Tab> is pressed, that command will be supplied on the command
line. You can then execute the command by pressing <Enter>. If the <Tab> key is pressed
without any input on the command line, the currently active menu is displayed.
