rootiest 3d826c5407 feat(help): header-driven --help for terminal and session functions
spwin, tab, hist, bkg, wake-lock and fc take the standard first-arg-only
call site, so `wake-lock rsync --help` still runs rsync.

split takes --help only: its own ARGUMENTS documents -h as --horizontal,
so a literal test replaces the renderer's own flag check. Verified that
`split -h` still selects a horizontal split and never prints help.

# SYNOPSIS
# bkg <command> [args...]
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Launches a command in the background, fully detached from the terminal
# using nohup. All stdout and stderr output is discarded. Simpler than
# detach; no --version flag.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# command The command to run detached
# args... Additional arguments for the command
#
# EXIT STATUS
# 0 Command launched successfully
# 1 No command provided
#
# EXAMPLE
# bkg firefox
function bkg --description 'Execute bkg'
__fish_help_header (status current-function) $argv; and return 0
# Check if a command was provided as an argument.
if test -z "$argv[1]"
set -l c_head (set_color --bold cyan)
set -l c_cmd (set_color --bold)
set -l c_arg (set_color cyan)
set -l c_reset (set_color normal)
echo "$c_head""Usage:$c_reset $c_cmd""bkg$c_reset $c_arg""<command> [arguments...]$c_reset"
return 1
end
# Run the command using nohup to make it immune to hangups (like closing the terminal).
# Redirect both stdout and stderr to /dev/null to discard all output.
# The final ampersand (&) sends the entire process to the background.
nohup $argv &>/dev/null &
