on unix systems, about each and every cmdline tool has a manpage.
$ man pd
most programs i know, also accept a "-h" or "--help" argument, that
gives you another help.
Pd is a bit exclusive here, as it uses the "-help" syntax (but then Pd
is clever enough to give you the full help whenever it encounters an
argument it doesn't know about; so "pd -h" and "pd --help" work fine
as well).
$ pd -help
in the case of Pd, the manpage is a little neglected, but at least it
directs you to "pd -help".
