If the instance name is specified, the operation is performed directly. If a class name is specified, the enumerateInstanceNames command is performed with the class name and the list of returned instance names is presented to the user to select one to display. cimcli then performs getInstance with the selected instance name.

For special options and "Common options", see cimcli Options.
