Arguments:

topic

The topic or command for which the CLI prints information.

Description:

The help command prints information about the specified topic or command. If you do no use an argument, the CLI displays a list of the topics for which help is available.

If more than one screen of data would be displayed, the CLI fills the screen with data and then displays a more prompt. You can then press Enter to see more data or enter q to return to the CLI prompt.

After you type a topic name, the CLI attempts to complete what you type. The help command also allows you to enter one of the CLI's built-in aliases. For example:

d1.<> he a

    Default alias: ac
