`ps --help` lists sections "<simple|list|output|threads|misc|all>". The "--help all" output is all sections, but truly all help is only available via `man ps`.

With Git for Windows, `git help <command>` opens an HTML formatted manual page in a web browser. It should use a new tab in an existing browser window.
