+
+   Display the YANG operational data starting from XPATH. The default
+   format is JSON, but can be displayed in XML as well.
+
+   Normally YANG operational data are located inside containers marked
+   as `read-only`.
+
+   Optionally it is also possible to display configuration leaves in
+   addition to operational data with the option `with-config`. This
+   option enables the display of configuration leaves with their
+   currently configured value (if the leaf is optional it will only show
+   if it was created or has a default value).
