pts_help - Displays help for pts commands
pts help [
-topic <
help string>+]
[
-help]
pts h [
-t <
help string>+] [
-h]
The
pts 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
pts command.
To list every pts command whose name or short description includes a specified
keyword, use the
pts apropos command.
-
-topic <help string>+
- Indicates each command for which to display the complete
online help entry. Omit the pts part of the command name, providing
only the operation code (for example, specify "membership", not
"pts membership"). If this argument is omitted, the output
briefly describes every pts command.
- -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid
options are ignored.
The online help entry for each
pts 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.
The following command displays the online help entry for the
pts
membership command:
% pts help membership
pts membership: list membership of a user or group
aliases: groups
Usage: pts membership -nameorid <user or group name or id>+
[-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-force] [-help]
