VMS Help HELP, Parameters *Conan The Librarian |
keyword ...
Specifies one or more keywords that refer to the topic or subtopic
on which you want information from a HELP library. Information
within HELP libraries is arranged in a hierarchical manner. The
levels are:
1. None---If you do not specify a keyword, HELP describes the HELP
command and lists the topics that are documented in the root
library. Each item in the list is a keyword in the first level
of the hierarchy.
2. Topic-name---If you specify a keyword by naming a topic, HELP
describes the topic as it is documented in either the root
library or one of the other enabled default libraries. Keywords
for additional information available on this topic are listed.
3. Topic-name subtopic---If you specify a subtopic following a
topic, HELP provides a description of the specified subtopic.
4. @file-spec followed by any of the above---If you specify a HELP
library to replace the current root library, HELP searches that
library for a description of the topic or subtopic specified.
The file specification must take the same form as the file
specification included with the /LIBRARY command qualifier.
However, if the specified library is an enabled user-defined
default library, the file specification can be abbreviated to
any unique leading substring of that default library's logical
name translation.
If you use an asterisk in place of any keyword, the HELP command
displays all information available at the level that the asterisk
replaces. For example, HELP COPY * displays all the subtopics under
the topic COPY.
If you use an ellipsis immediately after any primary keyword, HELP
displays all the information on the specified topic and all
subtopics of that topic. For example, HELP COPY... displays
information on the COPY topic as well as information on all the
subtopics under COPY.
You can use percent signs and asterisks in the keyword as wildcard
characters.
