This section lists the commands used to work with OMPC. In the following commands, [ ] represents optional attributes and < >

help

Usage:

ompc_cli help [<COMMAND>] [<COMMAND_OPTION >]

The help command prints the help content for a command or a command option (including the generic option). Authentication is

not required for the help command.

If no help command is specified (the ompc_cli command was issued with no parameters), generic help information about the
