So if people think this is sensible I'll send three patches: 1. word-wrap the description to fit in 80 columns 2. use less padding between columns 3. omit the args on short options when there is also a corresponding long option
What does GNU getopt do in all these cases? I'd prefer if the programs I use on the command line are consistent in their `--help' display and GNU getopt seems to be the standard here. Trying to follow what other people do also makes shell scripting easier. -- Johan
