Enter Subcommands

Some commands have subcommands you can use when you are on the display of that command. These subcommands provide additional functionality that let you perform the following tasks:

• Access more specific displays
• Locate information that is on a display
• Refresh a display
• Add or replace information that is on a display

You enter subcommands on the command line in much the same way you enter commands. Also, subcommands can have parameters, and if they have multiple parameters, those parameters are treated as positional parameters.
