+# dsc extension
+
+## Synopsis
+
+Operations on DSC extensions.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```sh
+dsc extension [Options] <COMMAND>
+```
+
+## Description
+
+The `dsc extension` command contains a subcommand for listing DSC extensions.
+
+## Commands
+
+### list
+
+The `list` command returns the list of available DSC extensions with an optional filter. For more
+information, see [dsc extension list][01].
+
+### help
+
+The `help` command returns help information for this command or a subcommand.
+
+To get the help for a command or subcommand, use the syntax:
+
+```sh
+dsc extension help [<SUBCOMMAND>]
+```
+
+For example, `dsc extension help` gets the help for this command. `dsc extension help list`
+gets the help for the `list` subcommand.
+
+You can also use the [--help](#--help) option on the command or subcommand to display the help
+information. For example, `dsc extension --help` or `dsc extension list --help`.
+
+## Options
+
+### -h, --help
+
+<a id="-h"></a>
+<a id="--help"></a>
+
+Displays the help for the current command or subcommand. When you specify this option, the
+application ignores all other options and arguments.
+
+```yaml
+Type        : boolean
+Mandatory   : false
+LongSyntax  : --help
