vos_help - Displays help for vos commands
vos help [

help string>+]
[
-help]
vos h [
-t <
help string>+] [
-h]
The
vos 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
vos command.
To list every
vos command whose name or short description includes a
specified keyword, use the
vos apropos command.
-
-topic <help string>+
- Identifies each command for which to display the complete
online help entry. Omit the vos part of the command name, providing
only the operation code (for example, specify create, not vos
create). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly describes
every vos command.
- -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid
options are ignored.
The online help entry for each
vos 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.

vos create: create a new volume
Usage: vos create -server <machine name> -partition <partition name>
