Method-Specific Help

Some multipurpose functions also provide command-line help on specific methods. For example, help encode displays text that describes the use of the encode command for error-control encoding. One specific method of error-control encoding is BCH encoding. The command

displays text that describes the use of the encode command for BCH encoding. The functions that provide method-specific help are: amod, ademod, amodce, ademodce, ddemod, ddemodce, decode, demodmap, dmod, dmodce, encode, and modmap. The general help text, displayed by the help function command, lists the available methods.
