Unix ‘man’ pages

The unix 'man' program can be used to get documentation about each program. For example:

man yangcli-pro
man yangdump-pro
man yangdump-sdk
man yangdiff-pro
man netconfd-pro
man netconf-subsystem-pro
man make_sil_dir_pro
man make_sil_bundle
man make_sil_sa_dir
man make_sil_sa_bundle
man ypcontrol
man yp-shell
man ypwatcher
man yang-api
man restconf
man ypgnmi-app
man ypgrpc-go-app
man yp-ha-app
man db-api-app
man sil-sa-app
man py-sil-app

Program --help option

Each program also has extensive help information available with the --help CLI parameter. For example:

yangcli-pro --help
yangdump-pro --help
yangdiff-pro --help
netconfd-pro --help
