5.9.2.3. Getting Help

You can get general help for the wic command 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
                    with command being either
                    create or list.
                    

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
                    

with image being either directdisk or mkefidisk.
