Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.

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.
