NAME

       kas_help - Displays help for kas commands

SYNOPSIS

       kas help [-topic <help string>+] [-help]

       kas h [-t <help string>+] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The kas 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 kas command.

       To list every kas command whose name or short description includes a specified keyword,
       use the kas apropos command.

OPTIONS

       -topic <help string>+
           Indicates each command for which to display the complete online help entry. Omit the
           kas part of the command name, providing only the operation code (for example, specify
           setpassword, not kas setpassword). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly
           describes every kas command.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The online help entry for each kas command consists of the following two or three lines:

       •   The first line names the command and briefly describes its function.

       •   The second line lists aliases for the command, if any.

       •   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

       The following command displays the online help entry for the kas setpassword command:

          % kas help setpassword
          kas setpassword: set a user's password
          aliases: sp
          Usage: kas setpassword -name <name of user>
          [-new_password <new password>] [-kvno <key version number>]
          [-admin_username <admin principal to use for authentication>]
          [-password_for_admin <password>] [-cell <cell name>]
          [-servers <explicit list of authentication servers>+] [-help]

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       None, and no password is required.
