Background: OSGi environment on equinox. For the execution of custom comands I use the gogo shell (org.apache.felix.gogo.command, org.apache.felix.gogo.shell).
I can show all available commands (including my own custom ones) with felix:help.
My problem is that the output is not as detailed as I require it to be. It looks like:
...
gogo:gosh
gogo:grep
gogo:history
gogo:not
gogo:set
gogo:sh
gogo:source
gogo:tac
gogo:telnetd
gogo:type
gogo:until
scr:config
scr:disable
...
Is there a way to extend that page to be more like a man-page or at least showing the arguments of the underlying Java method (at least for my own commands)? In the worst case I would have to write a help method which prints the commands (at least my custom ones) in a man-page like manner.
Maybe someone can save me time by giving me another option :-). Thanks in advance!
You can do the following for more information
help [<scope>:]<command>
The help is generated via the @Descriptor and @Parameter annotations that are in the Gogo runtime bundle. This is rather extensively described the Extending Gogo Shell in the unfortunately archived original OSGi enRoute.
