I’m interested in discovering when tools have hidden documentation, so I was curious when I learned recently that the Casper agent has explicitly hidden documentation which requires root privileges to access. For more information, see below the jump.
To access this documentation, go to a Mac which has Casper’s agent installed and run the following command with root privileges:
jamf help -hidden
This will display information about commands which aren’t mentioned when you run the standard command for help:
jamf help
You can access more documentation about these hidden commands by running the following with root privileges, referencing the command you want more information on:
jamf help command_goes_here
