Step
- View man pages in the following ways:
- By entering the following command at the storage system command line:
man command_or_file_name
- By clicking the manual pages button on the main Data ONTAP navigational page in the FilerView user interface
- By using the Commands: Manual Page Reference, Volumes 1 and 2 (which can be downloaded or ordered through the NOW NetApp on the Web site)
Note: All Data ONTAP man pages are stored in the storage system
in files whose names are prefixed with the string "na_" to distinguish them from client man pages. The prefixed names are used to distinguish storage system man pages from other man pages and sometimes appear in the NAME field of the man page, but the prefixes are not part of the command, file, or services.
