Has anyone had any success in figuring out the syntax of this
undocumented/unsupported command?  I'm trying to gather some performance
statistics about backupset creation, but the only thing that seems to be
tracked is the number of files processed.

 ANR3501I Backup set for LAXU34 as TEST.BS.234924 completed
  successfully - processed                         54,299
  files.

This is significant, but not necessarily the determining factor in how long
a backupset generation will take.  Additionally, no statistics appear to be
logged in the summary table for this activity.

When I took a stab at finding an undocumented command, "show backupset"
does appear to be a valid command, but I have not been able to figure out
what parameters it is expecting.  I've tried invoking it with various
combinations of nodename and backupset name, but have not found the correct
number or format of the parameters that it is looking for.

       tsm: NEW_AIX>show backupset
       ANR2022E SHOW: One or more parameters are missing.

TSM support was not willing to make any information about this command
available.  On the one hand, I understand that undocumented, unsupported
commands are just that - undocumented and unsupported.  However, the lack
of detailed information available for generated backupsets is frustrating.
