SYNOPSIS help [command]
help [-p | -page]
help --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command without operands to display an alphabetical listing of commands for which help is
available. When used without an operand, the command listing displays without page break.
Pipe the output through the Unix grep command to filter the output.
Use the -page operand to display the commands for which help is available one page at a time. Press
Enter to go to the next page. When using help with the -page option, you can search for specific strings
by entering a forward slash, followed by a text string, for example /zone.
The help listing includes only commands that are available to the current user; command availability may
vary depending on the following conditions:
• Login user role
• License key
• Hardware platform
To access help information for a specific command, enter the command name as an operand.
Commands ending in "Help" display grouped commands for a particular subsystem; for example, the
diagHelp command displays a list of diagnostic commands.
