+show dev
+  This command is meant to centralize some information that HAProxy developers
+  might need to better understand the causes of a given problem. It generally
+  does not provide useful information for the user, but these information allow
+  developers to eliminate certain hypothesis. The format is roughly a series of
+  sections containing indented lines with one element per line, such as the OS
+  type and version, the CPU type or the boot-time FD limits for example. Some
+  fields will be omitted to avoid repetition or output pollution when they do
+  not add value (e.g. unlimited values). More fields may appear in the future,
+  and some may change. This output is not meant for being parsed by scripts, and
+  should not be considered with a high degree of reliability, it's essentially
+  aimed at saving time for those who can read it.
+
+  Technically speaking, such information are taken as-is out of an internal
+  structure that stores them together at boot time so that they can also be
+  found in a core file after a crash. As such, it may happen that developers
+  ask for an early output on a well behaving process to compare with what is
+  found in a core dump, or to compare between several reloads (e.g. some limits
+  might change). If anonymizing is enabled, any possibly sensitive value will
+  be anonymized as well (e.g. the node name).
