help

list the OS commands

NAME
    help - list the OS commands

SYNOPSIS
    help

DESCRIPTION
    Prints a short summary of the shell commands, redirection and pipe
    syntax, and the standard programs. For a full page on any one command,
    use man.

    help is a /bin program (os/commands/help.c), not a shell built-in --
    its ~1.4 KB of reference text lives in the program, not the resident
    OS. A bare `help` is found on PATH and run, so it works as before.

EXAMPLES
    help
    man cd               fuller detail on one command

SEE ALSO
    man
