Syntax
sccs help [args]
sccshelp [args]
Description
The command explains the use of a sccs command or provides additional
information on sccs-generated messages. Zero or more arguments may be
supplied to help. If no arguments are given, will prompt for one.
The arguments may be either message numbers (which normally appear in
parentheses following messages), command names, or one of the following
types:
type 1 Begins with nonnumerics, ends in numerics. The nonnu‐
meric prefix is usually an abbreviation for the program
or set of routines which produced the message (For exam‐
ple, ge6, for message 6 from the get command).
type 2 Does not contain numerics (For example, get, a command
name)
type 3 Is all numeric (For example, 212)
When all else fails, try
sccs help stuck.
