Description:
The help command in side ndb_mgm can not give details when help command is selected.

Examples:

ndb_mgm> Help show
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NDB Cluster -- Management Client -- Help for SHOW command
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHOW prints NDB Cluster information

SHOW               Print information about cluster

Gives detailed information, but any of the others:

ndb_mgm> help CLUSTERLOG
Invalid command: CLUSTERLOG
Type HELP for help.

ndb_mgm> help restart
Invalid command: restart
Type HELP for help.

ndb_mgm> help id restart
Invalid command: id restart
Type HELP for help.

ndb_mgm> help start
Invalid command: start
Type HELP for help.

ndb_mgm> help connect
Invalid command: connect
Type HELP for help.

In addition, there is no detail on what -i or -n switches/options do for you :-(
<id> RESTART [-n] [-i]                 Restart DB node

How to repeat:
See above

Suggested fix:
help command should give detailed information just like "help show". In addition, we
should never assume that a customer/user will know what an option does for them. We should
always be verbose about commands and their options
