Hello
I noticed two different types of help output. Examples below. The later
seems a little hard to comprehend. Could they be unified?
$ getconf
Usage: getconf [-v specification] variable_name [pathname]
getconf -a [pathname]
$ getconf --help
Usage: getconf [-v SPEC] VAR
or: getconf [-v SPEC] PATH_VAR PATH
Get the configuration value for variable VAR, or for variable PATH_VAR
for path PATH. If SPEC is given, give values for compilation
environment SPEC.
$ getconf --version
getconf (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.23-0ubuntu9) 2.23
Expected:
Also the addition of
getconf --help Show this help
getconf --version Show version number
Could you keep my email address in replies please
Thank you
Jonny
