The display command displays additional configuration information.
The no-more command displays the output all at once rather than one screen at a time. This is similar to the terminal length
command except that the no-more option affects the output of the specified command only.
The save command copies the output to a file for future reference.
NOTE:
You can filter a single command output multiple times. The save option must be the last option entered. For
example: DellEMC# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression | grep other-
regular-expression | find regular-expression | save.
