<!-- TODO(jthegedus): removed information -->
<!-- Each of these scripts should tailor their output to the current operating
system. For example, when on Ubuntu the deps script could output the
dependencies as apt-get packages that must be installed. The script should also
tailor its output to the value of `ASDF_INSTALL_VERSION` and `ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE`
when the variables are set. They are optional and will not always be set.
The help callback script MUST NOT output any information that is already covered
in the core asdf-vm documentation. General asdf usage information must not be
present. -->

### `bin/help.overview`
`bin/help.overview` - This script should output a general description about the
plugin and the tool being managed. No heading should be printed as asdf will
print headings. Output may be free-form text but ideally only one short
paragraph. This script must be present if you want asdf to provide help
information for your plugin. All other help callback scripts are optional.
**Description**
This is not one callback script but rather a set of callback scripts that each
print different documentation to STDOUT. The possible callback scripts are
listed below. Note that `bin/help.overview` is a special case as it must be
present for any help output to be displayed for the script.
Output a general description about the plugin and the tool being managed.
**Implementation Details**
- This script is required for any help output to be displayed for the plugin.
- No heading should be printed as asdf core will print headings.
- Output may be free-form text but ideally only one short paragraph.
- Must not output any information that is already covered in the core asdf-vm documentation.
- Should be tailored to the OS and version of the tool being installed (using optionally set Environment Variables `ASDF_INSTALL_VERSION` and `ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE`).
- Success should exit with `0`.
- Failure should exit with a non-zero status.
**Environment Variables available to script**
- `ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE`: `version` or `ref`
- `ASDF_INSTALL_VERSION`:
- Full version number if `ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE=version`.
- Git ref (tag/commit/branch) if `ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE=ref`.
- `ASDF_INSTALL_PATH`: The path to where the tool _has been_, or _should be_ installed.
**Commands that invoke this script**
- `asdf help <name> [<version>]`: Output documentation for plugin and tool
**Call signature from asdf core**
```bash:no-line-numbers
