$BUILTIN help
$FUNCTION help_builtin
$DEPENDS_ON HELP_BUILTIN
$SHORT_DOC help [-s] [pattern ...]
Display helpful information about builtin commands.  If PATTERN is
specified, gives detailed help on all commands matching PATTERN,
otherwise a list of the builtins is printed.  The -s option
restricts the output for each builtin command matching PATTERN to
a short usage synopsis.
