PTS_HELP(1)
NAME
pts_help - Displays help for pts commands
SYNOPSIS
pts help [-topic <help string>+] [-help] pts h [-t <help string>+] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The pts help command displays the complete online help entry (short
description and syntax statement) for each command operation code
specified by the -topic argument. If the -topic argument is omitted,
the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the
online help entry for every pts command.
To list every pts command whose name or short description includes a
specified keyword, use the pts apropos command.
OPTIONS
- -topic <help string>+
- Indicates each command for which to display the complete online
help entry. Omit the pts part of the command name, providing only the operation code (for example, specify "membership", not "pts
membership"). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly
describes every pts command. - -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
OUTPUT
The online help entry for each pts command consists of the following
two or three lines:
- o The first line names the command and briefly describes its
- function.
- o The second line lists aliases for the command, if any.
- o The final line, which begins with the string "Usage", lists the
- command's options in the prescribed order. Online help entries use the same symbols (for example, brackets) as the reference pages in this document.
EXAMPLES

membership command:
- % pts help membership
pts membership: list membership of a user or group
aliases: groups
Usage: pts membership -nameorid <user or group name or id>+
