Description Use this command without an operand to display an alphabetical listing of commands for which

break.
Pipe the output through “grep” 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:

diagHelp displays a list of diagnostic commands.
