Using the SCF HELP Command

SCF provides online help when you use the HELP command described on page 5-63.

If you enter the HELP command alone, SCF responds with a menu that guides you

through the available help options. Using this menu-mode help facility, you can obtain

general information about SCF basic components, such as attribute specifications,

character strings, commands, file names, integers, and so forth. In addition to getting

general SCF information, you can obtain information specific to your particular

subsystem, including information about the commands and object types supported by

that subsystem. Note that the online help facility is interactive; you cannot invoke it

from an SCF command file. (If the HELP command is found in such a file, HELP ALL

is assumed.)

SCF Menu-Mode Help

The menu-mode help facility presents a series of menus with options. Menu-mode

help is only for interactive mode. You invoke it by entering the HELP command without

any parameters. After menu-mode help has been invoked you can exit at any prompt

by entering QUIT or by pressing (Ctrl-y). Either of these entries returns you to the SCF

prompt. Figure 4-1 illustrates the hierarchy of the online help menus. A description of

the options available to you follows.

Main Menu
