help link_library in synopsys

[cfk]

This is a Synopsys question, but I hope these sort of questions are OK here.

I have a new Synopsys installation and am trying to get my Verilog to
synthesize & simulate. My first step is to try to read and understand the
documentation. So, I go to the first diagram in the brand spanking new
Synopsys FPGA Users Guide I just got yesterday, fire off fpga_shell-t and
type 'help link_library' and get nowhere.

Of course, I launch fpga_shell without the tcl mode and 'help link_library'
works fine.

So, what is going on?

In tcl mode, try using

man link_library

I think help in tcl mode only gives help on commands,
but link_library is a variable.

In tcl you can say info to get information as well, e.g.

info var *lib*

would give a list of all variables that matched the given
wildcard
