Maybe you are thinking of extended queries?
https://erailine.com/2014/11/20/tours-of-the-black-prompt-clustered-netapp-data-ontap-part-4/

you can do what you want from powershell:
get-ncvolclone | get-ncvolfootprint | select -Property totalfootprint

but I believe extended queries are just within the same command (and only for modify/delete commands)

The closest I could get to was:
vol show -clone-volume true -fields physical-used,size-used-by-snapshots

but those numbers don't match vol show-footprint

Conceptually this is what I’d like to do:

volume show-footprint -fields total-footprint { volume show -clone-volume true -fields volume }

Eg, show the total on disk footprint of all FlexClones.

I could have sworn I saw a very brief example of this on Justin Parisi’s blog, taking the output of one command and feeding it into another.  At the time, I thought “oh that’s cool” and moved on, but now can’t find reference to it.

Either I don’t remember the syntax, it isn’t supported in 8.3.2, or it never happened and I’m slowly going crazy?
