Command documentation for CL commands is provided in the form of online help on the system and topics in the i5/OS® Information Center. In the information center, each command description follows the same format.
Each command description includes the parts discussed in the following subtopics. At the beginning of the command description documentation, there are links to the Parameters, Examples, and Error messages sections.
It should be noted that, because a command is an i5/OS object, each command can be authorized for specific users or authorized for use by the public (all users authorized in some way to use the system). Because this is true for nearly every command, it is not stated in each command description.
