VOS_HELP(1)						       AFS Command Reference						       VOS_HELP(1)

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:

       o   The first line names the command and briefly describes its function.

       o   The second line lists aliases for the command, if any.

       o   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]
