When the OpenOCD server process starts up, it enters a
@emph{configuration stage} which is the only time that
certain commands, @emph{configuration commands}, may be issued.
+Normally, configuration commands are only available
+inside startup scripts.
+
In this manual, the definition of a configuration command is
presented as a @emph{Config Command}, not as a @emph{Command}
which may be issued interactively.
+The runtime @command{help} command also highlights configuration
+commands, and those which may be issued at any time.
Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs,
flash banks,
Exits the current telnet session.

@deffn {Command} help [string]
With no parameters, prints help text for all commands.
Otherwise, prints each helptext containing @var{string}.
Not every command provides helptext.

+Configuration commands, and commands valid at any time, are
+explicitly noted in parenthesis.
+In most cases, no such restriction is listed; this indicates commands
+which are only available after the configuration stage has completed.
