-.BI conf_param " <device> <parameter>"
+.BI list_param " [-F|-R] <param_search ...>"
+List the Lustre or LNet parameter name
+.B -F
+Add '/', '@' or '=' for dirs, symlinks and writeable files, respectively.
+.br
+.B -R
+Recursively list all parameters under the specified parameter search string. If
+.I param_search
+is unspecified, all the parameters will be shown.
+.br
+.B Examples:
+.br
+.B
+# lctl list_param ost.*
+.br
+ ost.OSS
+.br
+ ost.num_refs
+.br
+.B
+# lctl list_param -F ost.* debug

+.BI get_param " [-n|-N|-F] <parameter ...>"
+Get the value of Lustre or LNET parameter.
+.br
+.B -n
+Print only the value and not parameter name.
+.br
+.B -N
+Print only matched parameter names and not the values. (Especially useful when using patterns.)
+.br
+.B -F
+When -N specified, add '/', '@' or '=' for directories, symlinks and writeable files, respectively.
+.br
+.B Examples:
+.br
+.B
+# lctl get_param ost.*
+.br
+ ost.OSS
+.br
+ ost.num_refs
+.br
+.B
+# lctl get_param -n debug timeout
+.br

+.br
+.B
+# lctl get_param -N ost.* debug
+.br
+ ost.OSS
+.br
+ ost.num_refs
+.br
+ debug
+.br
+lctl "get_param -NF" is equivalent to "list_param -F".
+.TP
+.BI set_param " [-n] <parameter=value ...>"
+Set the value of Lustre or LNET parameter.
+.br
+.B -n
+Disable printing of the key name when printing values.
+.br
+.B Examples:
+.br
+.B
+# lctl set_param fail_loc=0 timeout=20
+.br
+ fail_loc=0
+.br
+ timeout=20
+.br
+.B
+# lctl set_param -n fail_loc=0 timeout=20
+.br

+.BI conf_param " [-d] <device|fsname>.<parameter>=<value>"
Set a permanent configuration parameter for any device via the MGS. This
-command must be run on the MGS node.
+command must be run on the MGS node.
+.br
+.B -d <device|fsname>.<parameter>
+Delete a parameter setting (use the default value at the next restart). A null value for <value> also deletes the parameter setting.
+.br
+.B Parameters:
+.br
+All of the writable parameters under
+.B lctl list_param
+(e.g.
+.I lctl list_param -F osc.*.* | grep =
+) can be permanently set using
+.B lctl conf_param
+, but the format is slightly different. For conf_param, the device is specified first, then the obdtype. (See examples below.) Wildcards are not supported.
+.br
+Additionally, failover nodes may be added (or removed), and some system-wide parameters may be set as well (sys.at_max, sys.at_min, sys.at_extra, sys.at_early_margin, sys.at_history, sys.timeout, sys.ldlm_timeout.) <device> is ignored for system wide parameters.
+.br
+.B Examples:
+.br
+# lctl conf_param testfs.sys.at_max=1200
+.br
+# lctl conf_param testfs.llite.max_read_ahead_mb=16
+.br
+# lctl conf_param testfs-MDT0000.lov.stripesize=2M
+.br
+# lctl conf_param lustre-OST0001.osc.active=0
+.br
+# lctl conf_param testfs-OST0000.osc.max_dirty_mb=29.15
+.br
+# lctl conf_param testfs-OST0000.ost.client_cache_seconds=15
