1.2. Command-Line Scripting Help

Help for command-line executables is available through different methods. You can access help built into the executables with command-line options. You can use the Quartus® Prime Command-Line and Tcl API Help browser for an easy graphical view of the help information.

To use the Quartus® Prime Command-Line and Tcl API Help browser, type the following command:

quartus_sh --qhelp

This command starts the Quartus® Prime Command-Line and Tcl API Help browser, a viewer for information about the Quartus® Prime Command-Line executables and Tcl API.

Use the -h option with any of the Quartus® Prime Command-Line executables to get a description and list of supported options. Use the --help=< option name> option for detailed information about each option.
