Why it should be special case? What is wrong with using partial command
names when resolving is simple?

This is fine.

What I meant is follow:

	unsigned cmd_len = 0;

	while (isalpha(line[cmd_len]))
		cmd_len++;

	if (!strncasecmp(line, "Dump", cmdlen))
		...

In this case strings "D", "du", etc. will be resolved as "Dump" command.
