What is in Oracle's sqlplus equivalent of Linux's man or --help ?

When I'm in sqlplus and type help index, I get some commands displayed, but there is no way to get specific sql syntax. For example if I type 'help select' I get:

SP2-0172 No HELP matching this tiopic was found.

Of course, I would like to get all available options for select command.

How can I get info or sql syntax while I'm at sql prompt ?

Thanks
