The command “show interfaces ?” will display the following information:

If you terminate a partial keyword with a question mark, alternatives that match the 
initial letters are provided. (Remember not to leave a space between the command 
and question mark.) For example “s?” shows all the keywords starting with “s.”

For many configuration commands you can enter the prefix keyword “no” to cancel 
the effect of a command or reset the configuration to the default value. For example, 
the logging command will log system messages to a host server. To disable 
logging, specify the no logging command. This guide describes the negation effect 
for all applicable commands.

The CLI maintains a history of commands that have been entered. You can scroll 
back through the history of commands by pressing the up arrow key. Any command 
displayed in the history list can be executed again, or first modified and then 
executed. 

Using the show history command displays a longer list of recently executed 
commands.
