Checking CLI Help (Deprecated Reference)
Run a command directly only when you can explain its exact target, effect, and material flags. Otherwise inspect the narrowest relevant help first.
Use this order as applicable:
<cmd> <subcommand> --help<cmd> --helpor the tool's built-inhelpformtype <cmd>orcommand -v <cmd>to identify aliases, functions, or builtins- shell
help <builtin> man <cmd>when non-interactive access is available
Judge familiarity on the full command, not a whitelist or the base executable name. Help output does not authorize an external, destructive, costly, or otherwise unapproved action; it only resolves syntax and behavior.
