.. _cmd-help:

help - display fish documentation
=================================

Synopsis
--------

help [SECTION]


Description
-----------

``help`` displays the fish help documentation.

If a ``SECTION`` is specified, the help for that command is shown.

If the BROWSER environment variable is set, it will be used to display the documentation. Otherwise, fish will search for a suitable browser.

If you prefer to use a different browser (other than as described above) for fish help, you can set the fish_help_browser variable. This variable may be set as a list, where the first element is the browser command and the rest are browser options.

Note that most builtin commands display their help in the terminal when given the ``--help`` option.


Example
-------

``help fg`` shows the documentation for the ``fg`` builtin.

docs: Call "arrays" "lists" We were flip-flopping between the two terms, so we now use one. We still mention "array" in the chapter, and it's still `read --array`, though. Fixes #5846.
