The “terms” command will return detail for all the requested resources. Usually the resources will be presented via their identifiers (a comma separated list). However, it is possible to specify the resource by name using the name parameter. If no ID or name is presented all resources will be returned. In this case, it would be usual to create a filter to restrict the returned resources.
