The second form lists the detailed help information for a specific
'canned' image.
+ The third form enumerates all the available --sources (source
+ plugins). The contents of a given partition are driven by code
+ defined in 'source plugins'. Users specify a specific plugin via
+ the --source parameter of the partition .wks command. Normally
+ this is the 'rootfs' plugin but can be any of the more specialized
+ sources listed by the 'list source-plugins' command. Users can
+ also add their own source plugins - see 'wic help plugins' for
+ details.
