Multipipe Support
The multipipe feature supports the multiple pipes on the CLI. With this feature, the output can be
processed by an enhanced utility set. Using various combination of utilities, it is possible to gather, filter,
and format the output of any show command. An arbitrary limit of eight pipes is supported on CLI with
this limit superseded by the limit of characters that can be typed on the single line (1024) if the individual
commands specified with pipes are long enough.
In addition, if you want to give pipe character (|) as a pattern, you must give it in double quotes. For
example:
RP/0/0/CPU0:single8-hfr# show running-config|include “bgp|ospf”|file disk0:/usr/a.log
