+## help
+
+#### **Description:**
+
+`help`  takes a linux command as an input and outputs information about that command. 'help' can be used to learn more information about a command that a user is unfamilier with.
+
+If no command is given as input, a list of help topics is printed.
+
+There are three command line flags:
+
+Options:
+- -d output short description for the command
+- -m display usage in pseudo-manpage format
+- -s output only a short usage synopsis for the command
+
+#### **Usage and Examples**
+Generally, running 'help' on a linux command is not very helpful, as the information provided is extensive and hard to follow. Thus, running with the -d flag is easier to understand and is usually more applicable. Also, running help with the -s flag will output how to use the command.
+
+Examples:
+
+~~~ bash
+$ help -d help
+help - Display information about builtin commands
+$ help -d cd
+cd - Change the shell working directory
+$ help -s help
+help: help [-dms] [pattern ...]
+$help -s cd
+cd: cd [-L|[-P [-e]] [-@]] [dir]
