help
This module is not implemented, and it probably will never be, because
it exists to translate the sometimes obscure error messages produced by
(genuine) SCCS. These messages come with identifying codes (like
“(ge4)”); one might type help ge4 to translate an obscure
message into a more readable message detailing what has gone wrong. The
problem with this approach is that it results in a program called
help
on the user’s path. When a naive user types help they
are probably not looking for an explanation of an obscure message from
SCCS. In fact, help
is in any case a shell builtin for GNU
Bash. Explanations of any obscure or unusual error messages belong in
this manual, and so no sccs-help
program is provided or planned.
