How to hide a leaf node in CLI help?

YANG

Hi Xiangping,

Take this YANG model from the ConfD example examples.confd/cli/climods

    container arp3 {
        config false;
        tailf:callpoint jarp_data;
        list arpe {
            key "ip ifname";
            max-elements 1024;
            leaf ip {
                type inet:ip-address;
            }
            leaf ifname {
                type string;
            }
            leaf hwaddr {
                tailf:cli-suppress-show-path;
                type string;
                mandatory true;
            }
            leaf permanent {
                tailf:cli-suppress-show-match;
                type boolean;
                mandatory true;
            }
            leaf published {
                type boolean;
                mandatory true;
            }
        }
    }

CLI:

# show arp3 arpe <TAB PRESSED>
Possible completions:
  10.0.0.1  10.0.0.2  192.168.0.2  |  <cr>
Possible match completions:
  published

Only the “published” leaf is shown as “Possible match completions” since the “tailf:cli-suppress-show-match” and “tailf:cli-suppress-show-path” extensions are used with the “hwaddr” and “permanent” leafs.

You describe your use case as being more advanced, and so I believe you need to use for example the clispec completionpoint. See ConfD UG 16.13.1. Customizing CLI completion and examples.confd/cli/completions for more details.
