NAME

Jifty::Script::Help - Show help

SYNOPSIS

help COMMAND

OPTIONS

Optionally help can pipe through a pager, to make it easier to read the output if it is too long. For using this feature, please set environment variable PAGER to some pager program. For example:

# bash, zsh users
export PAGER='/usr/bin/less'

# tcsh users
setenv PAGER '/usr/bin/less'

help_base

Jifty's help system also looks in Jifty::Manual and the subdirectories for any help commands that it can't find help for.
