#### 25.3.9 The `argp_help` Function

Normally programs using argp need not be written with particular printing argument-usage-type help messages in mind as the standard ‘`--help`’ option is handled automatically by argp. Typical error cases can be handled using `argp_usage` and `argp_error`. See Argp Helper Functions. However, if it's desirable to print a help message in some context other than parsing the program options, argp offers the `argp_help` interface.

— Function: void argp_help (const struct argp *argp, FILE *stream, unsigned flags, char *name)

> This outputs a help message for the argp parser argp to stream. The type of messages printed will be determined by flags.

> Any options such as ‘`--help`’ that are implemented automatically by argp itself will not be present in the help output; for this reason it is best to use `argp_state_help` if calling from within an argp parser function. See Argp Helper Functions.
