That is fine by me. I think single-letter options are more likely to function differently between man implementations than long options, so long ones are better. I noticed in the Debian manual page for man that there are actually four options that can be used for printing the manual page path: -w --where --path --location I'm assuming these are compatibility options for other operating systems. I'd suggest that before committing, you go through each of the Linux man implementations (at least Debian, Fedora, Gentoo), each of the open source BSD ones and the ones for proprietary UNIXen like macOS, Solaris, HPUX. Then order the solutions by how common they are. I wonder if any man implementations actually have a way to do completion without the shell parts having to do the completion. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
