focus Object
The focus command is active in interactive mode only and is provided to
reduce typing.
The focus command sets the specified object in focus and changes the prompt
to reflect the specified object. This allows you to type a command that applies
to the specified object instead of typing the entire object name each time.
For example, where normally you might type:
/c0/u0 show
If you set the focus to /c0/u0, the prompt changes to reflect /c0/u0, and you
only have to type
show. The concept is similar to working in a particular
location in a file system and requesting a listing of the current directory.
When you type the command focus /object, object can have the following
forms:
•
/cx/ux specifies the fully qualified Universal Resource Identifier (URI)
of an object on controller
cx, unit ux.
•
.. (two trailing periods) specifies one level up (the parent object).
•
/ (a forward slash) specifies the root
• object specifies the next level of the object.
