17=head1 CAUTIONS
18
19The B<uss> command suite is currently designed for cells using the
20obsolete Authentication Server, and therefore is primarily useful for
21sites that have not yet migrated to a Kerberos version 5 KDC. The
22Authentication Server and supporting commands will be removed in a future
23version of OpenAFS, which may include B<uss> unless someone who finds it
24useful converts it to work with a Kerberos version 5 KDC.

26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28The B<uss help> command displays the complete online help entry (short
29description and syntax statement) for each command operation code
30specified by the B<-topic> argument. If the B<-topic> argument is omitted,
31the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the
32online help entry for every B<uss> command.
33
34To list every uss command whose name or short description includes a
35specified keyword, use the B<uss apropos> command.
36

38

43Indicates each command for which to display the complete online help
44entry. Omit the B<uss> part of the command name, providing only the
45operation code (for example, specify B<bulk>, not B<uss bulk>). If this
46argument is omitted, the output briefly describes every B<uss> command.

51ignored.
