| ## Name
 | |
| 
 | |
|  Help - digital manual
 | |
| 
 | |
| [Open](file:///bin/Help)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Synopsis
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```**sh
 | |

 | |

 | |
| $ Help file
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Description
 | |
| 
 | |
| `Help` is Serenity's digital manual, the GUI counterpart to `man`.
 | |
| It lets you search for and read manual pages (or "man pages").
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Examples
 | |
| 
 | |
| To open Help:
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| $ Help
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To open documentation for the `echo` command:
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| $ Help echo
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To open the documentation for the `mkdir` command:
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| $ Help 1 mkdir
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Conversely, to open the documentation about the `mkdir()` syscall:
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| $ Help 2 mkdir
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Files
 | |
| 
 | |
| `Help` looks for man pages under `/usr/share/man`. For example,
 | |
| this man page should be located at `/usr/share/man/man1/Applications/Help.md`.
