No, it shouldn't. That would be radically inconsistent with the definition of the help, which is to display help on a face and/or action; we would have to add special case code into all the mechanisms to access that face, or all through the face, to make that work. You should revisit this once the help face is actually documented, and the format of the face and action code polished, and see if you still feel this is unhelpful help, when we deliver what the user explicitly requested. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7305: Funny output with `puppet "help"*n` https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7305 Author: Randall Hansen Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: Faces Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0rc1 Keywords: Branch: * "help" * 3 gives what looks like the help man page * "help" * 4 gives what looks like a man page template * "help" * 5+ gives us a couple broken error messages No matter how may "help" words we pass, output should be the same as `puppet help`. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
