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