The --help message for printf (coreutils 6.9) starts with this: Usage: /usr/local/gnu/bin/printf FORMAT [ARGUMENT]... or: /usr/local/gnu/bin/printf OPTION Print ARGUMENT(s) according to FORMAT.
--help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit I'd like to suggest a tiny change, something like: Print ARGUMENT(s) according to FORMAT, or execute according to OPTION: Right now, there's nothing explicitly saying that --help and --version are the options. I admit it's unlikely to be a point of confusion (especially for anyone who can figure out how to invoke coreutils printf in the first place :), but is there any harm in saying it explicitly? Thanks for coreutils :). karl _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
