## Name
Help
## Synopsis
```**sh
$ Help
$ Help [section] page
$ Help search_query
$ Help file
```
## Description
`Help` is Serenity's digital manual, the GUI counterpart to `man`.
It lets you search for and read manual pages (or "man pages").
## Sections
The SerenityOS manual is split into the following *sections*, or *chapters*:
1. User programs
2. System calls
3. Libraries
4. Special files
5. File formats
6. Games
7. Miscellanea
8. Sysadmin tools
Sections are subject to change in the future.
## Examples
To open Help:
```sh
$ Help
```
To open documentation for the `echo` command:
```sh
$ Help echo
```
To open the documentation for the `mkdir` command:
```sh
$ Help 1 mkdir
```
Conversely, to open the documentation about the `mkdir()` syscall:
```sh
$ Help 2 mkdir
```
## Files
`Help` looks for man pages under `/usr/share/man`. For example,
this man page should be located at `/usr/share/man/man1/Help.md`.
