# Show help on nushell modules.
#
# When requesting help for a single module, its commands and aliases will be highlighted if they
# are also available in the current scope. Commands/aliases that were imported under a different name
# (such as with a prefix after `use some-module`) will be highlighted in parentheses.
#
# Examples:
# > let us define some example modules to play with
# > ```nushell
# > # my foo module
# > module foo {
# > def bar [] { "foo::bar" }
# > export def baz [] { "foo::baz" }
# >
# > export-env {
# > let-env FOO = "foo::FOO"
# > }
# > }
# >
# > # my bar module
# > module bar {
# > def bar [] { "bar::bar" }
# > export def baz [] { "bar::baz" }
# >
# > export-env {
# > let-env BAR = "bar::BAR"
# > }
# > }
# >
# > # my baz module
# > module baz {
# > def foo [] { "baz::foo" }
# > export def bar [] { "baz::bar" }
# >
# > export-env {
# > let-env BAZ = "baz::BAZ"
# > }

Here are some tips to help you get started.
* ('help -h' | pretty-cmd) or ('help help' | pretty-cmd) - show available ('help' | pretty-cmd) subcommands and examples
* ('help commands' | pretty-cmd) - list all available commands
* ('help <name>' | pretty-cmd) - display help about a particular command, alias, or module
* ('help --find <text to search>' | pretty-cmd) - search through all help commands table
Nushell works on the idea of a "(ansi default_italic)pipeline(ansi reset)". Pipelines are commands connected with the '|' character.
Each stage in the pipeline works together to load, parse, and display information to you.
(ansi green)Examples(ansi reset):
List the files in the current directory, sorted by size
> ('ls | sort-by size' | nu-highlight)
Get information about the current system
> ('sys | get host' | nu-highlight)
Get the processes on your system actively using CPU
> ('ps | where cpu > 0' | nu-highlight)
You can also learn more at (ansi default_italic)(ansi light_cyan_underline)https://www.nushell.sh/book/(ansi reset)"
