- Show contents of a ROA table (by default of the first one). You can
- specify a <m/prefix/ to print ROA entries for a specific network. If you
- use <cf>for <m/prefix/</cf>, you'll get all entries relevant for route

- Add a new ROA entry to a ROA table. Such entry is called <it/dynamic/

- dynamic entries survive reconfiguration.
