aws-help: Display help about a specific topic.
$ aws help ${topic_name}
try on your machine

The command "aws help ${topic_name}" is used to display help documentation related to a specific topic in AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "aws" is the command to initiate AWS CLI.
  • "help" is a sub-command used to request help documentation.
  • "${topic_name}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the desired topic for which you want help. For example, if you want help on the topic "ec2", you would replace "${topic_name}" with "ec2".

When executed, this command will display the help content specific to the provided topic. It provides information such as command usage, available options, and examples related to the specified topic in AWS CLI.
