HP Link Editor/XL Reference Manual

Getting Help 

HP Link Editor/XL provides an online Help facility similar to that used
by the MPE XL Command Interpreter and other MPE XL subsystems.  Request
Help to clarify the syntax of an HP Link Editor/XL command or to list an
example of how to use it.

Request Help by entering the HELP command in this format:

                       [, ALL     ]
LinkEd> HELP [keyword] [, PARMS   ]
                       [, EXAMPLES]
The keyword parameter can be any of following commands:

     ADDRL          COPYRL          LISTOBJ        QUIT
     ADDXL          COPYXL          LISTPROG       REDO

     ALTPROG        DO              LISTREDO       REVEALRL

     BUILDRL        EXTRACTRL       LISTRL         RL
     BUILDXL        HELP            LISTXL         SHOWRL
     CLEANRL        HIDERL          PURGERL        SHOWXL
     CLEANXL        LINK            PURGEXL        XL

The keyword parameter can also be one of the following words, LINKWARN or
LINKERR, followed by a four-digit number.  If you enter one of these
words, do not use an option (ALL, PARMS, EXAMPLES) with it:

LINKWARN nnnn         Displays a description of the link editor warning
                      whose number ( nnnn) you enter.

LINKERR nnnn          Displays a description of the link editor error
                      whose number ( nnnn) you enter.

When you ask for Help, you can enter an option that determines the type
of information to display.  If you do not specify an option, the link
editor displays the syntax diagram for the command.  The Help options
are:

ALL                   Provides a full description of the command,
                      including syntax, parameters and an example of how
                      it is used.

PARMS                 Describes the parameter(s) for the command.

EXAMPLES              Gives examples of typical ways to use the command.

Valid examples of Help requests are:

     LinkEd> HELP
     LinkEd> HELP BUILDRL, parms
     LinkEd> HELP addrl, examples
     LinkEd> help LINKERR1001
