The help command supports a type of wildcarding. For example, the command
help st displays any commands that begin with ''st'', such as start and stop.
If full help is available, the help * command displays all of the information on
all of the commands. However, to control the display of the text, combine the
command with the more command, as shown in the following example:
>>> help * | more
This command sequence causes a screen of text to be displayed. Press the
spacebar to continue the display and press Ctrl/C to terminate the display.
For an explanation of the symbols used to represent syntax, get help on the help
command itself, using the following command:
>>> help help
12.4 Examining and Depositing to Memory or System
Registers
A byte stream is similar in concept to an OpenVMS console address space. It
can represent an extent of memory, a set of registers, a device, or a file. The
console commands manipulate these byte streams by performing typical device
operations: open, read, write, close. Therefore, in this discussion, the term
device refers to any byte stream or address space regardless of its actual physical
implementation. For example, the address space, /P, can be accessed as a device,
PMEM.
