Users Guide
NOTE: The slash (/) and backslash (\) are interchangeable in SM-CLP address paths. However, a backslash at the end of a
command line continues the command on the next line and is ignored when the command is parsed.
For example to navigate to the third record in the System Event Log (SEL), enter the following command:
->cd /admin1/system1/logs1/log1/record3
Enter the cd verb with no target to nd your current location in the address space. The .. and . abbreviations work as they do in
Windows and Linux: .. refers to the parent level and . refers to the current level.
Using show verb
To learn more about a target use the show verb. This verb displays the target’s properties, sub-targets, associations, and a list of the SM-
CLP verbs that are allowed at that location.
Using the -display option
The show –display option allows you to limit the output of the command to one or more of properties, targets, associations, and verbs.
For example, to display just the properties and targets at the current location, use the following command:
show -display properties,targets
To list only certain properties, qualify them, as in the following command:
show –d properties=(userid,name) /admin1/system1/sp1/account1
If you only want to show one property, you can omit the parentheses.
Using the -level option
The show -level option executes show over additional levels beneath the specied target. To see all targets and properties in the
address space, use the
-l all option.
Using the -output option
The -output option species one of four formats for the output of SM-CLP verbs: text, clpcsv, keyword, and clpxml.
The default format is text, and is the most readable output. The clpcsv format is a comma-separated values format suitable for loading into
a spreadsheet program. The keyword format outputs information as a list of keyword=value pairs one per line. The clpxml format is an
XML document containing a response XML element. The DMTF has specied the clpcsv and clpxml formats and their specications can
be found on the DMTF website at dmtf.org.
The following example shows how to output the contents of the SEL in XML:
show -l all -output format=clpxml /admin1/system1/logs1/log1
