Notice she said "if you do not have a better use for -h."
Me? The stuff I write will print a help message if any options given
aren't supported. But I agree with Sabrina:
GenericUnixPrompt> mv -h
mv: invalid option -- h
Try `mv --help' for more information.
Um? Okay, it's an invalid switch. You detected it's an invalid switch.
You printed an error as such.
