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:

       •   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 pts 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>+
          [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-force] [-help]
