Otherwise, a short description is displayed for each command, beginning with the
specified argument.
You can also type a partial command name and basic help information will be
returned for all commands matching the partial name. The partial command name
must contain enough of the command name in order for the command to be
recognized by help. The help command returns help information for all commands
beginning with the characters you typed.
The help command is shell sensitive. It displays help information for the current
shell only.
