Abbreviating a Command You can abbreviate commands and keywords to the number of characters that allow a unique abbreviation. You can abbreviate the show command to sh. After entering the command at the system prompt, press Return to execute the command. Completing a Partial Command The Tab key allows you to use the command-completion feature. When you enter a unique partial character string and press the Tab key, the system completes the command or keyword on the command line. For example, if you enter co and press the Tab key, the system completes the command as configure because it is the only command that matches the criteria.
