host help

Returns help information about the host object and its operations. The syntax is:

host help [operation | -verbose]

Options

Displays information about the host task object.

Description
Used without an argument or option, the host help command returns brief information about each host operation. The optional operation argument is the name of an operation (catalog, configure, ping, start, stop, show, and unconfigure) about which you want detailed information. Alternatively, you can use the -verbose option for more detailed information about the host object itself.
