NAME

       sccs-help, help - ask for help regarding SCCS error or warning messages

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ccs/bin/help [argument...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  help  utility retrieves information to further explain errors messages and warnings from SCCS commands. It also provides some informa-
       tion about SCCS command usage. If no arguments are given, help prompts for one.

       An argument may be a message number (which normally appears in parentheses following each SCCS error or warning message), or an  SCCS  com-
       mand name. help responds with an explanation of the message or a usage line for the command.

       When all else fails, try `/usr/ccs/bin/help  stuck'.

FILES

       /usr/lib/help   directory containing files of message text
