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 specified target. To see all targets and properties in
the address space, use the -l all option.

Using the -output option

The -output option specifies 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 specified the clpcsv and clpxml formats
and their specifications 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
