/**
 * Provide online user help.
 *
 * By implementing hook_help(), a module can make documentation available to
 * the user for the module as a whole, or for specific paths.  Help for
 * developers should usually be provided via function header comments in the
 * code, or in special API example files.
 *
 * For a detailed usage example, see page_example.module.
 *
 * @param $path
 *   The router menu path, as defined in hook_menu(), for the help that is
 *   being requested; e.g., 'admin/people' or 'user/register'.  If the router
 *   path includes a wildcard, then this will appear in $path as %, even if it
 *   is a named %autoloader wildcard in the hook_menu() implementation; for
 *   example, node pages would have $path equal to 'node/%' or 'node/%/view'.
 *   To provide a help page for a whole module with a listing on admin/help,
 *   your hook implementation should match a path with a special descriptor
 *   after a "#" sign:
 *     'admin/help#modulename'
 *       The main module help text, displayed on the admin/help/modulename
 *       page and linked to from the admin/help page.
 * @param $arg
 *   An array that corresponds to the return value of the arg() function, for
 *   modules that want to provide help that is specific to certain values
 *   of wildcards in $path. For example, you could provide help for the path
 *   'user/1' by looking for the path 'user/%' and $arg[1] == '1'. This given
 *   array should always be used rather than directly invoking arg(), because
 *   your hook implementation may be called for other purposes besides building
 *   the current page's help. Note that depending on which module is invoking
 *   hook_help, $arg may contain only empty strings. Regardless, $arg[0] to
 *   $arg[11] will always be set.
 *
 * @return
 *   A localized string containing the help text.
