12.3 Getting Help

The Digital Alpha VME 4 console provides online Help in the form of brief help
text in ROM-based images of the console and full help in loadable versions of the
console. The brief help for a command is a one-line description of the command's
function and all possible options and arguments for the command. With full help,
all the information provided in Chapter 13 for a command is displayed on the
console. However, due to space restrictions in the firmware ROMs, only brief help
is available by default.
To display help text, use either the help or the man command followed by the
command on which you are seeking help. If you do not specify a command after
help or man, the console displays a list of all commands.
You can specify multiple help topics with one command. Separate the topics with
a space, as shown in the following example:
