I'd like code/design review feedback for this minor pkg CLI RFE I've
just logged:
I often start typing commands and forget what the exact usage is, so I
have a habit of tagging "--help" on at the very end so I get the usage
and then retrieved the command again via histroy and replace just the
last part of it (ie removing the --help).
For example:
$ pkg image-update --help
pkg image-updateh: illegal option -- help
Try `pkg --help or -?' for more information.
$ pkg search -r --help
pkg search: illegal option -- help
Try `pkg --help or -?' for more information.
What I wanted there was the full usage message not he short one.
I'd expect to get that short message if I gave an invalid option.
"--help" is valid but only directly after pkg and before the subcommand.
I find this too restrictive and would preffer the more flexible behaviour.
