Runhelp

Runhelp is a command-line utility found on some Unix-like operating systems, including Solaris and derivatives. Its primary function is to provide assistance and information about installed commands. When invoked with a command name as an argument, runhelp attempts to display relevant documentation or help text associated with that command. This can include usage instructions, available options, and descriptions of the command's purpose.

The exact behavior of runhelp can vary depending on the specific operating system and its configuration. In some cases, it might act as a front-end to other help systems, such as man pages or info pages. The utility is typically used by system administrators or users who need quick access to information about commands they are not familiar with, without needing to explicitly invoke the man command. It aims to simplify the process of finding help by providing a more direct interface. While not as universally known or used as the man command, runhelp serves as a convenient supplementary tool for command-line assistance.
