+set table <table> key <key> data.<data_type> <value>
+  Create or update a stick-table entry in the table. If the key is not present,

 set timeout cli <delay>
   Change the CLI interface timeout for current connection. This can be useful
   during long debugging sessions where the user needs to constantly inspect
