 disci(1)

NAME
display_command_information, disci

SYNOPSIS
disci [ -? -o -do -dp] Program_Name

DESCRIPTION
Displays information about a command.
  Example:
    disci -do f genpdt This example uses display_option full to see further information. Currently this additional data includes where the command was found and the name of the evaluate_parameters message module, text describing the command, as well as parameter help, if available.

OPTIONS
-help, ?, usage_help, full_help: Display Command Information

  Display information about this command, which includes
  a command description with examples, plus a synopsis of
  the command line parameters. If you specify -full_help
  rather than -help complete parameter help is displayed
  if it's available.

-output, o: file = stdout

  Specifies the path name of the file to receive the Display
  Command Information output.

-display_option, do: key brief, b, full, f, usage, u, keyend = D_DISCI_DO, brief

  Specifies the level of help desired.

-do_page, dp: boolean = D_DISCI_DO_PAGE, TRUE

  Specifies whether `display_command_information' pages help
  output. If paging is enabled the environment variable
  MANPAGER (or PAGER) is used to control the display of the
  generated help information. If defined and non-null, the
  value of the environment variable is taken as the name of
  the program to pipe the help output through. If no paging
  program is defined then the program `more' is used.

  The boolean environment variable D_DISCI_DO_PAGE can be
  set to FALSE/NO/OFF/0, any case, to disable this automatic
  paging feature (or you can set your paging program to
  `cat').

  A Program_Name is required by this command.
