core.help

Provids access to documentation and help-related functions and information for modules, functions, and macros.

help

Description

With no arguments, displays general help information about the bot, including instructions on how to access further help.

With the name of a function or a macro (only macros defined on the current network), displays help tailored to the function or macro, including usage details and links to more detailed documentation. In cases where a macro and a function have the same name, the function will always take precedence.

Lastly, module-level help may be displayed by prefacing the name of the module with the symbol ``:module``. Module help displays the full list of exported functions for that module.

Usage

[ :module <name> | <function> | <macro> ]

Examples

    (help)
    (help apply)
    (help :module types.map)

help-all

Description

Displays a complete listing of all functions and macros available on the current network.
