using the following command (inline or in script)
printf "-h, --help show help"
the printf command raise the error
printf: illegal option -- h

it should be ok if printf accept options, but this is not the case (as in the
previous message):
usage: printf format [arguments ...]
workarounds:
printf "\-h, --help show help"
printf "%s" "-h, --help show help"
