It seems to have broken --help when invoking toybox explicitly: $ ./toybox ls --help <shows same output as "./toybox --help" rather than the "toybox ls" usage.>
Are we concerned about interpreting "data" arguments as the --help flag? e.g.: $ ./rm -- --help <prints usage rather than remove the file named "--help"> $ ./tar -c README > --help && tar -tvf --help -rw-r----- rprichard/primarygroup 6306 2021-06-08 19:10 README $ ./tar -c README > --help && ./tar -tvf --help <prints "toybox tar" usage with the new --help behavior. previously toybox behaved like GNU tar above.> On Wed, Jun 9, 2021 at 4:46 PM Rob Landley <[email protected]> wrote: > On 6/8/21 9:11 PM, Ryan Prichard via Toybox wrote: > > $ ls -l --help > > ls: Unknown option 'help' (see "ls --help") > > > > I tend to add `--help` to the end of a command line that I'm > constructing, so I > > was surprised by toybox's requirement that `--help` be first.
