> Wouldn't it be better if this was displayed with --help instead? That's what I wanted to do initially, but then I thought that this would make help output too copious. Perhaps the best way would be to output a short list of available formats (without docstrings) with --help, and let the user obtain more verbose help on each format with --format=help. What do you think?
A short list without the docstrings is I think the way to go, something like: # ld --help Usage: ld [options] file... ... ld: supported targets: elf32-i386 a.out-i386-linux pei-i386 elf32-little elf32-big srec symbolsrec verilog tekhex binary ihex trad-core ... # Keeping --format=help is a good idea. > And the --verbose stuff, I think that should be in the manual. Yes, sure. But I planned to do that after I'm finished with the modifications (I've got some unfinished improvements of format engine in my local tree). Super, keep the onslaught coming! :-)
