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.
