Lots of terminal commands come with tab-completion out of the box (start typing a command, hit tab to autocomplete, hit tab twice to bring up a list of available options), or have tab completion scripts you can install after the fact.
Lacking tab completion, any worthwhile terminal commands will at least support a
-h
/--help
flag that will print out a help menu summarizing the different options, or you can open up the man pages to see even more detailed documentation withman [whatever terminal command]
. If the terminal command doesn't have either of those, I'd recommend against using it.
