What will be the output of such command?
 $ rdma dev show mlx5_4

ip-like style:

$ rdma dev show mlx5_4
5: mlx5_4:
    caps: <BAD_PKEY_CNTR, BAD_QKEY_CNTR, CHANGE_PHY_PORT, PORT_ACTIVE_EVENT, SYS_IMAGE_GUID, RC_RNR_NAK_GEN, MEM_WINDOW, UD_IP_CSUM, UD_TSO, XRC, MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS, BLOCK_MULTICAST_LOOPBACK, MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B, RAW_IP_CSUM, SIGNATURE_HANDOVER, VIRTUAL_FUNCTION>
$ rdma link show mlx5_3
4/1: mlx5_3/1:
    caps: <CM, IP_BASED_GIDS>

I think that is better, maybe it should only show under some kind of
verbose mode, I don't know, it depends what other stuff ends up being
displayed..

Are you going to dump the gid table and pkey table too in one of these commands?

My initial plan was to put all parsers under their respective names, in
the similar way as I did for caps: $ rdma dev show mlx5_4 caps

So for large dumps, I'm going to use that technique again and maybe print summary as a default.
For example, for gids, we can print utilization as a summary while whole
table if someone really wants it: $ rdma link show mlx5_4/1 gids <index>

Something like that.

Thanks
