| .I COMMAND |
| |
| Specifies the action to perform on the object. |
| The set of possible actions depends on the object type. |
| As a rule, it is possible to |
| .B show |
| (or |
| .B list |
| ) objects, but some objects do not allow all of these operations |
| or have some additional commands. The |
| .B help |
| command is available for all objects. It prints |
| out a list of available commands and argument syntax conventions. |
| .sp |
| If no command is given, some default command is assumed. |
| Usually it is |
| .B list |
| or, if the objects of this class cannot be listed, |
| .BR "help" . |
| |
| .SH EXIT STATUS |
| Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure. |
