A full listing of the available flags would be useful too for a hypothetic bash complete mode. I think that's how the bash completion package for darcs does it. And you know, with those three or four words compound flags, with their number rising to .. nearly a hundred?, this would be a very desirable thing to have, much more so than the darcs one. On the other hand, both --full-flag-help and the bash completion package mode seem like a very trivial hacking task. Any GHC hackers around? /me hides under a pile of work and other diversions Cheers pepe On 13/03/2007, at 20:33, Lennart Augustsson wrote:
Sorry, but I'm not always connected to the Internet. I'd like to be able to get flag help easily anyway.

Suppose ghc --full-flag-help simply printed the URL http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ flag-reference.html Now you can see it in your web browser by clicking on it.
