DESCRIPTION

The sccshelp command writes to standard output information about the use of a
specified SCCS command or about messages generated while using the commands.
Each message has an associated errorcode, which can be supplied as a argument
to the sccshelp command.  Zero or more arguments may be supplied.  If you do
not supply a argument, sccshelp prompts for one.  You may include any of the
SCCS commands as arguments to sccshelp.

The errorcode consists of numbers and letters, and is found at the end of the
message.  For example, in the message "no ID keywords (ge6)", the error code is
"ge6".
