# messages --help
Usage: messages [OPTION...] [mailbox...]
GNU messages -- count the number of messages in a mailbox
Common mailutils options
-L, --license print license and exit
-m, --mail-spool=URL use specified URL as a mailspool directory
messages specific switches:
-q, --quiet Only display number of messages
-s, --silent Same as -q
-?, --help Give this help list
--usage Give a short usage message
-V, --version Print program version
Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.
Is it possible to rephrase the "Mandatory or optional ..."
I have no idea what it means.
