[EMAIL PROTECTED] removed from CC] So why should cat be any different?
Just because two extreme cases support -h as a alias for --help, doesn't mean that it is a GNU convention. You still haven't given a good reason why -h should be a alias for --help. -h is quite uncommon as a alias for --help in GNU programs, and --help is not that frequently used to warrent a short-option for --help. Infact, just in binutils, objdump uses -H as a alias, -h is a alias for --section-headers. Frankly, adding -h as a alias for --help only causes confusion for users, and any such alias should be removed. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
