5.9.3. Getting Help

You can get general help for the wic by entering the wic command by itself or by entering the command with a help argument as follows:

     $ wic -h
     $ wic --help
                

Currently, wic supports two commands: create and list. You can get help for these commands as follows:

     $ wic help command
                

You can also get detailed help on a number of topics from the help system. The output of wic --help displays a list of available help topics under a "Help topics" heading. You can have the help system display the help text for a given topic by prefacing the topic with wic help:

     $ wic help help_topic
                

You can find out more about the images wic creates using the existing kickstart files with the following form of the command:

     $ wic list image help
                

where image is either directdisk or mkefidisk.
