NAME
sccshelp - ask for help about SCCS-related commands
SYNOPSIS
sccshelp [args]
DESCRIPTION
Sccshelp finds information to explain a message from a command or
explain the use of a command. Zero or more arguments may be sup-
plied. If no arguments are given, sccshelp will prompt for one.
The arguments may be either message numbers (which normally appear
in parentheses following messages) or command names, of one of the
following types:
type 1 Begins with non-numerics, ends in numerics. The
non-numeric prefix is usually an abbreviation
for the program or set of routines which pro-
duced the message (e.g., ge6, for message 6 from
the get command).
type 2 Does not contain numerics (as a command, such as
get)
type 3 Is all numeric (e.g., 212)
The response of the program will be the explanatory information
related to the argument, if there is any.
When all else fails, try ``sccshelp stuck''.
FILES
/usr/nsc/lib/help directory containing files of message text.
DIAGNOSTICS
Use sccshelp(1) for explanations.
