I am looking for a way to bring help text on sub commands such as apt list
.
For example, if I write apt --help
, I am getting:
apt 1.2.26 (amd64) Usage: apt [options] command
apt is a commandline package manager and provides commands for
searching and managing as well as querying information about packages.
It provides the same functionality as the specialized APT tools, like
apt-get and apt-cache, but enables options more suitable for
interactive use by default.
Most used commands:
list - list packages based on package names
search - search in package descriptions
And I would like to go deeper, and get help on apt list
. If I try apt list --help
, I am getting same exact help text of apt --help
. I know list
command supports apt list --upgradable
parameter, but I could not see how to show it in the help text.
Any solution on this?

Check the apt
manual:
list (work-in-progress)
list is somewhat similar to dpkg-query --list in that it can
display a list of packages satisfying certain criteria. It supports
glob(7) patterns for matching package names as well as options to
list installed (--installed), upgradeable (--upgradeable) or all
available (--all-versions) versions.

Typically one would consult the man
page for the command
man apt
gives information on apt list
as well as the other ways to interact with apt
.
