Help

Running a shell application often implies that the user is in a graphically limited environment. This is why it is important that the shell commands are correctly self-documented, and this is where the help command comes in.

Typing help + ENTER lists all the commands known to the shell and a short description of what they do, similar to the following:

my-shell:>help
AVAILABLE COMMANDS

Built-In Commands
       help: Display help about available commands
       clear: Clear the shell screen.
       version: Show version info

Typing <command> -h <command> --help or shows more detailed information about a command, including the available parameters, their type, whether they are mandatory or not, and other details.
