HELP(1) SysV HELP(1)
NAME
help - ask for SCCS help
SYNOPSIS
help [ arguments ]
DESCRIPTION
help finds information to explain the use of, or a particular message
from, an SCCS command.
Arguments can be either message numbers (which normally appear in
parentheses following messages), command names, or one of the following
types:
type 1 Begins with non-numerics, ends in numerics. The
non-numeric prefix is usually an abbreviation for the
program or set of routines that produced the message.
For example, ge3 means message 3 from the get(1)
command.
type 2 Does not contain numerics. That is, it appears as a
command name such as the name get.
type 3 Is all numeric. For example, 26.
