Usage: vault path-help [options] path

  Look up the help for a path.

  All endpoints in Vault from system paths, secret paths, and credential
  providers provide built-in help. This command looks up and outputs that
  help.

  The command requires that the vault be unsealed, because otherwise
  the mount points of the backends are unknown.
