SolarOS 4.17.7 manual · app

help

Foreground browser for the package-aware SolarOS manual. The foldable tree groups the topics available in the current firmware and shows whether it is using the setup and recovery guide or a verified downloaded revision. Full guides and scripting API references require the downloaded manual; use help update to install it on devices with Wi-Fi, PSRAM, and SD storage. All groups start folded. The selection, scroll position, and fold state remain unchanged after a topic closes.

Usage:

help
help agent

Controls:

• Up/Down, Page Up/Page Down, Home/End: move through the tree.
• Left/Right, Enter, or Space on a group: fold or unfold it.
• Enter or Right on a topic: open it in reader on graphic display shells or less on text shells.
• q, Esc, or the app-exit key: return to the shell.

The maintenance forms help status, help update, and help reset remain shell operations. SD-capable builds show terminal-width-aware progress while downloading and extracting one exact-version signed manual archive. Use help command.status to open the shell status command page.
