There are already too many links in --help for each command: $ truncate --help | tail -n4 Report truncate bugs to bug-coreut...@gnu.org GNU coreutils home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/> General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/> For complete documentation, run: info coreutils 'truncate invocation' How about we assume people have a web browser and instead have: $ truncate --help | tail -n4 GNU coreutils online help: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/#help> For complete documentation, run: info coreutils 'truncate invocation' Then the "online help section" can verbosely list, bug email, faq, online manual, ... without restrictions to screen width etc. cheers, Pádraig.
