Generic Syntax

oc describe supports the following generic syntax:

oc describe <componentType>/<componentName>

oc describe daemonset/logging-fluentd
oc describe node/node1
oc describe pod/logging-fluentd-3kz30

The same pattern applies for oc edit.

There are cases when oc describe for a resource fails, but oc edit works:

oc describe  oauthclient/kibana-proxy
error: no description has been implemented for "OAuthClient"
oc edit oauthclient/kibana-proxy
