The
bos help command displays the complete online help entry (short
description and syntax statement) for each command operation code specified by
the
-topic argument. If the
-topic argument is omitted, the
output includes the first line (name and short description) of the online help
entry for every
bos command.
To list every bos command whose name or short description includes a specified
keyword, use the
bos apropos command.
-
-topic <help string>+
- Indicates each command for which to display the complete
online help entry. Omit the bos part of the command name, providing
only the operation code (for example, specify status, not bos
status). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly describes
every bos command.
- -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid
options are ignored.
The online help entry for each bos command consists of the following two or
three lines:
- •
- The first line names the command and briefly describes its
function.
- •
- The second line lists aliases for the command, if any.
- •
- The final line, which begins with the string
"Usage", lists the command's options in the prescribed order.
Online help entries use the same symbols (for example, brackets) as the
reference pages in this document.
