# obshell seekdb commands

This topic describes the seekdb commands in obshell. You can use the commands to manage a seekdb instance. You can use the `-h`/`--help` option in a command to view the help information of the command, for example, `obshell seekdb start -h`. You can also use the `-v`/`--verbose` option to view the detailed execution process of the command.

:::info
   The seekdb commands are designed for managing a seekdb instance. You do not need to explicitly specify the <code>--seekdb</code> option when you execute these commands.
