If the command is omitted, help prints a ! 14: simple description of itself, followed by information about the ! 15: command given by $LASTERROR, which is the last command returning ! 16: a nonzero exit status. ! 17: ! 18: help provides more information than the usage message printed by ! 19: a command, but less than the detailed description given by the ! 20: man command. The primary purpose of help is to refresh your ! 21: memory if you have forgotten an option to command. ! 22: ! 23: help prints information normally found between .HS and .HE macros ! 24: in the nroff source for the manual pages. nroff ignores this in- ! 25: formation. If help finds no information in the manual pages, it ! 26: looks in /etc/helpfile for additional system information and in ! 27: $HELP for user-specific information. Information about a command ! 28: begins with a line ! 29: ! 30: ! 31: @_c_o_m_m_a_n_d ! 32: ! 33: ! 34: and ends with the next line beginning with `@' in /etc/helpfile ! 35: or $HELP. help constructs the index file /etc/helpindex to make ! 36: subsequent searches of /etc/helpfile faster. ! 37: ! 38: ***** Files ***** ! 39: ! 40: /eettcc/hheellppffiillee -- Additional system information ! 41: /eettcc/hheellppiinnddeexx -- Index for helpfile ! 42: /uussrr/mmaann/ccmmdd/* -- To extract summaries ! 43: $HHEELLPP -- User information ! 44: $LLAASSTTEERRRROORR -- Default command help ! 45: ! 46: ***** See Also ***** ! 47: ! 48: commands, man ! 49: ! 50: ! 51: ! 52: ! 53: ! 54: ! 55: ! 56: ! 57: ! 58: ! 59: ! 60: ! 61: ! 62: ! 63: ! 64: COHERENT Lexicon Page 1 ! 65: ! 66:
