$BUILTIN help
$FUNCTION help_builtin
$DEPENDS_ON HELP_BUILTIN
$SHORT_DOC help [-dms] [pattern ...]
Display information about builtin commands.

Displays brief summaries of builtin commands.  If PATTERN is
specified, gives detailed help on all commands matching PATTERN,
otherwise the list of help topics is printed.

Options:
  -d	output short description for each topic
  -m	display usage in pseudo-manpage format
  -s	output only a short usage synopsis for each topic matching
	PATTERN

Arguments:
  PATTERN	Pattern specifiying a help topic

Exit Status:
Returns success unless PATTERN is not found or an invalid option is given.
