Displays brief summaries of builtin commands. If PATTERN is specified, gives detailed help on all commands matching PATTERN, otherwise the list of help topics is printed. Options: -d output short description for each topic -m display usage in pseudo-manpage format -s output only a short usage synopsis for each topic matching PATTERN Arguments: PATTERN Pattern specifiying a help topic Exit Status: Returns success unless PATTERN is not found or an invalid option is given. $END #include #if defined (HELP_BUILTIN) #include #if defined (HAVE_UNISTD_H) # ifdef _MINIX # include # endif # include #endif #include #include #include "../bashintl.h" #include "../shell.h" #include "../builtins.h" #include "../pathexp.h" #include "common.h" #include "bashgetopt.h" #include #include #ifndef errno extern int errno; #endif extern const char * const bash_copyright; extern const char * const bash_license; static void show_builtin_command_help __P((void)); static int open_helpfile __P((char *)); static void show_desc __P((char *, int)); static void show_manpage __P((char *, int)); static void show_longdoc __P((int)); /* Print out a list of the known functions in the shell, and what they do.
