The show file command displays specified groups and files that you can access for diagnostic purposes. You can page through the display 10 lines at a time. Use this command to view files after you enable the bloxTools Environment service.

Syntax

show file {groups | group} show file group file1 [file2 ...] [follow]

If you use the show file command without any arguments, it displays all the files that you can manage with this command. If you use the groups argument, a list of all groups is shown.
If you use the show file command with a group argument but no file, it displays a list of all the files in the specified group. If you use the show file command with group and file arguments, you can specify a real-time (live) view of the file—the same as the using tail -f arguments. You can interrupt the display by pressing Enter.

Argument	Description
`groups`	Displays a list of available groups.
`group`	Displays a list of files for the specified group.
`group file1 [file2 ...]`	Displays the specified (group) files.
`follow`	Displays the contents of the file live, in real-time.
