help -- prints help for each command

NAME

help -- prints help for each command

OSIRIS library of scripts

SYNOPSIS

help [command|category]

DESCRIPTION

tries to find the command or alias "command," and if it is located
prints out the comment lines in the script.

If no argument is passed, a generic command summary is printed.

There are three kinds of help provided:

help "command" will provide help on each command.

help "category" will provide help on one of the following categories:

ao adaptive optics commands
det detector commands
disp display commands
info informational commands
mot motor commands
tel telescope commands

The third type of help comes into play if the argument you have provided
is neither an OSIRIS command or one of the categories above. In this
situation the command tries to determine whether the argument is an
alias or some other command in the user's PATH. If the latter, it
will attempt to print out the man page entry for that command.
