You use the show command to display the value of one or more
    attributes of an entity. The general form of a show command is:

    ncl> show entity-name attribute-specifier,...

    An attribute-specifier can be the name of a particular attribute;
    for example:

    ncl> show node 0 ddcmp link link-5 protocol,transmit underruns,state

    displays the following attributes of the entity ddcmp link link-5:

    o  The characteristic protocol

    o  The counter transmit underruns

    o  The status state

    An attribute-specifier can also specify an entire class of
    attributes, as follows:

    o  all [attributes]

    o  all characteristics

    o  all counters

    o  all identifiers

    o  all status

    For example:

    ncl> show node 0 ddcmp link link-5 all counters, all status

    displays all counters and status attributes of the entity ddcmp
    link link-5.

    You can combine individual attribute names and attribute class
    names; for example:

    ncl> show node 0 ddcmp link link-5 protocol, all counters

    displays the value of the characteristic protocol and the value
    of all counters.

    There are a few attributes whose value cannot be displayed. These
    are usually attributes that represent secure information, such as
    passwords.

    The local node (node 0) is implied if no other node is specified.
    Therefore, "show implementation" is equivalent to "show node 0
    implementation", which is the command used to show the DECnet and
    operating system versions of the local node.

    Select an entity below for more information on the showable
    attribute groups for that entity.  Or if you wish to quickly view
    all the showable attributes of a particular entity at once, you
    may use the wildcard character.  For example, to view the
    showable attributes of osi transport, you could enter
    "osi_tranport *" at the following "SHOW Subtopic?" prompt.
