Description

Across all the different cloud providers, it becomes easy to forget which option brings up the documentation, manual page, or usage. I frequently find myself typing linode <command> help, only to then have to go back and running linode <command> --help (or -h).

It'd be nice if help as a subcommand was synonymous with --help. It'd be even nicer if a help subcommand brought up a full manual page similar to how AWS cli tools do it. Ideally, you'd then have linode <command> help get you the full, detailed manual page in the default pager and lincode <command> --help give you the summary of supported command-line options on stdout only.
