## help

    help [commands | error_codes]

Online help facility to explain SCCS commands or error messages. With no arguments, help prompts for a command name or an error code. To display a brief syntax, supply the SCCS command name. To display an explanation of an error message, supply the code that appears after an SCCS error message. The help files usually reside in /usr/ccs/lib.

Error messages produced by aborted SCCS commands are of the form:

>     ERROR filename: message (code)

The `code` is useful for finding out the nature of your error. To do this, type:

>     help code

### Example

When everything else fails, try this:

>     help stuck
