Help with specific commands
If you enter the help command at the top level, you are considered to be in the Shell Object, and the help command will provide help on the Shell commands focus, show, flush, rescan, and commit. Using the help command on objects (such as /cx, /cx/ux, /cx/px, /cx/bbu, /ex, /ex/slotx, /ex/fanx, and /ex/tempx), displays all possible sub-commands associated with the object.
For example: help on the controller object /cx, will display all the sub-commands associated with the controller /cx, like this:
//localhost> help /cx
/cx show 
/cx show attribute [attribute ...]   where attribute is:
achip|allunitstatus|autocarve(9KSX/SE/SA)
|bios|driver|firmware|autorebuild(9KSX/SE only)
|carvesize(9KSX/SE/SA|drivestatus[pause[lines=n]]|
ctlbus(9KSX/SE/SA)|memory|model|monitor|numdrives|
numports|numunits|unitstatus|ondegrade(9500S only)|
pcb|pchip|serial|spinup|stagger
/cx show all  where all means Attributes and configurations.
