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 follow-
ing types:
type 1 Begins with nonnumerics, ends in numerics. The nonnumeric prefix is usually an abbreviation for the program or set of rou-
tines which produced the message (For example, 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.
