I think standard tool options should be put into a new option group and put nearer the bottom of the help output. --debug is not useful in the majority of circumstances. Perhaps it should even be relegated to "--help-all" or something (that would require getopt changes, but so be it). -- Summary: tool --help output cleanup suggestion Product: frysk Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: general AssignedTo: frysk-bugzilla at sourceware dot org ReportedBy: tromey at redhat dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5919 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
