Command Line Interface Guide

Using the omhelp Command 25

Using the omhelp Command

The omhelp command and its equivalent, <command> -?, accesses

the detailed help text interface of Command Line Interface (CLI.) You can

get help at several levels of detail.

Each fully qualified CLI command may have a variable number of distinct

parts: the command (command level 1), one or more subcommands

(command level 2 and command level 3, if present), and one or more name=

value pair(s.)

By appending -? (space-dash-question mark) to any command, you can get

help for that command.

Example Help Commands

When you type omconfig -?, you get general help about the omconfig

command. The help at this level lists the available subcommands for

omconfig:

•about

• preferences

•chassis

•system

When you type omconfig system -?, CLI help lists all the

subcommands available for omconfig system:

•alertaction

•alertlog

•assetinfo
