$ makensis -CMDHELP ${command}
try on your machine

The command "makensis" is a command-line tool used to compile NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) scripts into executable installers.

The "-CMDHELP" option is used to display help information for a specific NSIS command. By providing the "${command}" parameter, you are specifying the NSIS command for which you want to view the help.

For example, if you run the command "makensis -CMDHELP MessageBox", it will display the help information for the NSIS command "MessageBox", which is used to display a message box in the installer.

This command is useful when you are working with NSIS scripts and need to get detailed information about a specific command, including its usage, parameters, and examples.
