# Description
<!--

Makes in so if you run `std help <external>` it will run `man <command>`
to get help pages. This command is configurable w/ the `$env.NU_HELPER`
var.

This will close #8032

Examples:
`std help rg` will display the ripgrep help pages

Todo:
- [x] Make flags and fallback configurable
- [x] Improve the warning that it is external
- [ ] Implement `--find` for external commands

# User-Facing Changes
Users will now be able to run `std help` on external commands

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
