| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: &optional command-name
Without an argument, this command prints a summary of the commands, mostly consisting of name, abbreviation, and valid arguments; if command-name is present, it prints more detailed documentation about the command. Commands added with tpl:alias will be included in the list, with [alias] as part of the description. Documentation strings and abbreviations will shown for alias commands.
This command will print a `page' of output at a time (page is defined below). When a page has been output, the system will pause. Entering a return at that point will cause the next page to be displayed. Entering a number causes the command to take that value as the page size (the value holds for this call to :help only). Any fixnum may be entered. A negative or zero value causes the remainder of the output to be displayed with no further breaks.
A page is defined to be *help-page-length*
number of lines, if
the value of that variable is a positive integer. If the value is
negative or zero, :help will print
without pausing.
The minimal abbreviation of :help is :he.
See top-level.htm for more information on top-level commands.
