To configure CLI autocompletion, you must have two pieces of information: the name of
the shell you're using and the location of the cdp_completer
script.
The CDP CLI includes a command-completion feature that enables
you to use the Tab key to complete a partially entered command. This feature isn't
automatically installed, so you need to configure it manually. When you partially enter a
command, parameter, or option, the command-completion feature either automatically completes
your command or displays a suggested list of commands. To prompt command completion, you
partially enter a command and press Tab.
-
Locate the CLI completer.
which cdp_completer
-
Add the completer's folder to your path:
-
Find your shell's profile script in your user folder.
For example:
~/.bash_profile
-
Add the following command to your bash_profiler, replacing
/usr/local/bin/cdp_completer
with the actual location discovered in
the previous sub-step:
complete -C /usr/local/bin/cdp_completer cdp
-
Reload the profile into the current session to put the changes into effect. Replace
.bash_profile
with the name of the shell script you discovered in
the first sub-step:
-
Enter
cdp
<TAB> to display the available options for
autocomplete.
