Bigpipe Usage Notes
font color=redFrom v9.4, be aware of the administrative partition that is currently active;/font use the bigpipe shell partition command to display the current active partition name and the bigpipe shell partition name command to change partitions.
A full command manual can be displayed using the man command followed by the command name, for example: man pool or by suffixing the command name with the help keyword, for example; bigpipe pool help.
In most cases, the font color=purpleshow/font keyword displays object status or statistics and the font color=purplelist/font keyword displays configuration. URemember/U, from v9.4, only objects in the currently active administrative partition will be displayed.
The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.
Where curly or normal brackets {}' or () or quotes ' or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the BASH shell from parsing them as system commands.
