2008-01-18.txt:19:00:01: <ais523> only --help and --version
2008-01-18.txt:19:02:00: <ais523> I wonder if anyone ever has run true --help in an attempt to find out what it does?
2008-01-23.txt:01:53:44: <ehird> sbcl --help
2008-03-10.txt:20:56:34: <AnMaster> $ ./ccbi --help
2008-03-13.txt:12:29:22: <AnMaster> you got that messed up in ccbi --help
2008-03-15.txt:21:56:11: <ais523> that won't distinguish between $1=--help and $1=the help text for GNU echo, if that's what's being used
2008-03-15.txt:21:57:30: <ehird> '--help' is not equal to 'the help text'
2008-03-16.txt:14:22:06: <AnMaster> this one had the typo in --help
2008-04-12.txt:16:21:47: <AnMaster> ehird, there is a gnu tool that can auto generate a man page from --help output
2008-07-06.txt:17:35:46: <tusho> oggenc --help, anything related to sample rate?
2008-07-25.txt:16:03:25: <AnMaster> ah yes your interpreter lacks a --help or such
2008-08-30.txt:20:38:53: <optbot> tusho: $ ./ccbi --help
2008-09-22.txt:12:54:48: <AnMaster> Deewiant, du --help
2008-10-07.txt:17:04:12: <AnMaster> ais523, --help seems to indicate -F is broken for all my icks
2008-10-12.txt:08:18:56: <immibis> !c --help
2008-10-19.txt:16:59:59: <Deewiant> ehird: the last 180 being the --help text.
2008-10-19.txt:17:00:26: <Deewiant> AnMaster: how long is ls --help
2008-10-19.txt:17:00:37: <AnMaster> $ ls --help
2008-10-19.txt:17:01:55: <AnMaster> not some funky --help
2008-10-19.txt:17:02:19: <Deewiant> I've always preferred --help and such
2008-10-19.txt:17:07:02: <Deewiant> --help is sufficient
2008-10-19.txt:17:09:11: <Deewiant> AnMaster: BSD. what's your point? My point was that that kind of stuff should be in --help.
2008-10-19.txt:17:09:27: <AnMaster> Deewiant, isn't in tsort --help on my linux
2008-10-19.txt:17:09:37: <Deewiant> AnMaster: What's your point? My point was that that kind of stuff should be in --help.
2008-10-19.txt:17:09:57: <Deewiant> AnMaster: My point was that that kind of stuff ******should***** be in --help.
2008-10-19.txt:17:10:23: <AnMaster> Deewiant, I don't want to have to pipe --help into less
2008-10-19.txt:17:11:19: <AnMaster> tsort --help | less
2008-10-19.txt:17:11:39: <Deewiant> Then have a short --help, and a --help-long.
2008-10-19.txt:17:11:54: <AnMaster> --help and --help --verbose
2008-10-19.txt:17:12:44: <AnMaster> Deewiant, now I think a good example of how to not do it: nmap --help
2008-10-19.txt:17:13:48: <Deewiant> nmap --help is pretty good IMO, could use more whitespace
2008-10-19.txt:17:16:05: <AnMaster> Deewiant, anyway yes --help is good, but with too many options it breaks badly
2008-10-19.txt:17:16:18: <Deewiant> yes, hence --help --verbose
2008-10-19.txt:17:17:26: <Deewiant> In general I guess best would be to have --help have the shortopts in the usual format and at most 20 lines of description of most important options
2008-10-19.txt:17:17:56: <AnMaster> so you get erlang shell if you try --help
2008-10-19.txt:17:20:18: <Deewiant> that's a good example, but the --help is terrible
2008-10-19.txt:17:20:49: <AnMaster>   (Använd '-v --help' för att visa kommandoradsflaggor för barnprocesser)
2008-10-19.txt:17:21:15: <AnMaster> $ gcc --help -v 2>&1 | wc -l
2008-10-24.txt:20:04:45: <AnMaster> I used to follow the same algorithm as ccbi claim(ed?) it uses in --help
2008-10-29.txt:21:34:15: <AnMaster> $ ./funge --help
2008-10-29.txt:21:35:23: <fizzie> It has a "-h" flag, not "--help"; but I don't think I've used to get segfault out of it.
2008-10-29.txt:21:47:07: <AnMaster> UUNNDDEEFF::  TT  aafftteerr  MM  ppuusshheedd  122 123 ^C <-- nice one from rc/funge on ./funge -Y --help mycology.b98
2008-10-30.txt:00:09:34: <AnMaster> he manages to crash on --help
2008-10-30.txt:00:11:16: <AnMaster> oh --help works fine if followed by a program
2008-10-30.txt:00:12:13: <AnMaster> $ ./funge -S --help ~/src/cfunge/trunk/mycology/sanity.bf
2008-10-30.txt:00:12:34: <AnMaster> $ ./funge --help
2008-10-30.txt:00:15:32: <AnMaster> however --help still  crashes it

2009-03-01.txt:00:11:54: <ehird> also, no, echo --help too
2009-03-10.txt:20:04:07: <ais523> $ yacc --help
2009-03-11.txt:21:55:37: <AnMaster> ais523, setarch --help lists more interesting stuff

2009-03-14.txt:17:03:27: <AnMaster> just wanted to help you in the future. You know you always tell me to use google so to keep the balance I have to tell you to use --help/man/info/grep/whatever

2009-03-31.txt:19:31:48: <AnMaster> I think I basically checked what ccbi --help or whatever said and did the same
2009-04-04.txt:19:40:22: <AnMaster> also looked at rebuild --help
2009-04-05.txt:12:02:23: <AnMaster_ipv6> there is a *doucmented* switch gcc --help=undocumented
2009-04-05.txt:12:09:28: <AnMaster_ipv6> GCC 4.3.2 --help -v supports some 770+ unique options
2009-04-05.txt:14:15:45: <AnMaster_ipv6> (a bit hard to measure, the --help -v output is not that simple to parse)
2009-04-05.txt:14:16:53: <AnMaster_ipv6> <AnMaster_ipv6> there is a *doucmented* switch gcc --help=undocumented
2009-04-05.txt:14:22:31: <ais523> AnMaster_ipv6: the documentation for --help=undocumented is obviously lying
2009-04-05.txt:14:23:37: <AnMaster_ipv6> ais523, It seems to mean there is no --help text stored for the switch
2009-04-10.txt:22:01:42: <AnMaster> ccbi has it in --help or something iirc
2009-04-26.txt:19:01:48: <ehird> % ./hello-world --help

2009-04-27.txt:18:31:16: <ehird> Deewiant: So, why does --help segfault?
2009-04-27.txt:18:37:19: <ehird> "ccbi" prints the same as "ccbi --help", right?
