$ fossil help ${subcommand}

The command "fossil help ${subcommand}" is used to get help and information about a specific subcommand in the Fossil version control system.

Here's a breakdown of the different elements in the command:

"fossil" is the main command that is used to interact with the Fossil version control system. It is the starting point for executing any Fossil command.
"help" is a subcommand that is used to retrieve detailed information and documentation about other subcommands or general aspects of Fossil.
"${subcommand}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the name of the specific subcommand you want to get help on. For example, if you want help on the "commit" subcommand, you would replace "${subcommand}" with "commit".

Combining these elements, the command "fossil help ${subcommand}" tells Fossil to display the help information related to a particular subcommand specified by replacing "${subcommand}" with the desired subcommand name.
