[me@linuxbox ~]$ help cd
cd: cd [-L|[-P [-e]] [-@]] [dir]
Change the shell working directory.
Change the current directory to DIR. The default DIR is the
value of the HOME shell variable.
The variable CDPATH defines the search path for the directory
containing DIR. Alternative directory names in CDPATH are
separated by a colon (:). A null directory name is the same as
the current directory. If DIR begins with a slash (/), then
CDPATH is not used.
If the directory is not found, and the shell option `cdable_vars'
is set, the word is assumed to be a variable name. If that
variable has a value, its value is used for DIR.
Options:
-L force symbolic links to be followed: resolve symbolic
links in DIR after processing instances of `..'
-P use the physical directory structure without following
symbolic links: resolve symbolic links in DIR before
processing instances of `..'
-e if the -P option is supplied, and the current working
directory cannot be determined successfully, exit with
a non-zero status
-@ on systems that support it, present a file with extended
attributes as a directory containing the file attributes
The default is to follow symbolic links, as if `-L' were
specified. `..' is processed by removing the immediately previous
pathname component back to a slash or the beginning of DIR.
Exit Status:
Returns 0 if the directory is changed, and if $PWD is set
successfully when -P is used; non-zero otherwise.
--help——显示使用信息
许多可执行程序支持“--help”选项,该选项显示命令支持的语法和选项的描述。比如:
[me@linuxbox ~]$ mkdir --help

Create the DIRECTORY(ies), if they do not already exist.
-Z, --context=CONTEXT (SELinux) set security context to CONTEXT
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.
-m, --mode=MODE set file mode (as in chmod), not a=rwx – umask
-p, --parents no error if existing, make parent directories as
needed
-v, --verbose print a message for each created directory
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
