Fair point, although these tools are used differently;  compressing all
possible usages into one synopsis does lack information about which
options are mutually exclusive, but you can still available one which
is often what I'm looking for:

        ls [-1AaCcdFfgHhikLlmnopqRrSsTtux] [file ...]


Same goes for ldomctl (and vmctl), except doing something like

        ldomctl start|stop|init-system|... [domain|file|...]

is hardly possible or even useful.
