    lotus chain get /ipfs/[cid]/some/path
 
+   Path prefixes:
+   - /ipfs/[cid], /ipld/[cid] - traverse IPLD path
+   - /pstate - traverse from head.ParentStateRoot
+
    Note:
    You can use special path elements to traverse through some data structures:
    - /ipfs/[cid]/@H:elem - get 'elem' from hamt
