NAME

       vos_help - Displays help for vos commands

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       The vos 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 vos command.

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

OPTIONS

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

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

OUTPUT

       The online help entry for each vos 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 vos create
       command:

          % vos help create
          vos create: create a new volume
          Usage: vos create -server <machine name> -partition <partition name>
          -name <volume name> [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
          [-verbose] [-help]
