Usage: vault path-help [options] PATH

  Retrieves API help for paths. All endpoints in Vault provide built-in help
  in markdown format. This includes system paths, secret engines, and auth
  methods.

  Get help for the thing mounted at database/:

      $ vault path-help database/

  The response object will return additional paths to retrieve help:

      $ vault path-help database/roles/

  Each secret engine produces different help output.
