Actually there are a few more instance of that (due to me):
$ grep -E " -.* [A-Z]" *.c | grep -v "FILE"
base64.c: -d, --decode Decode data\n\
base64.c: -i, --ignore-garbage When decoding, ignore non-alphabet
characters\n\
base64.c: -w, --wrap=COLS Wrap encoded lines after COLS character
(default 76).\n\
stdbuf.c: -i, --input=MODE Adjust standard input stream buffering\n\
stdbuf.c: -o, --output=MODE Adjust standard output stream buffering\n\
stdbuf.c: -e, --error=MODE Adjust standard error stream buffering\n\
truncate.c: -o, --io-blocks Treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead
of bytes\n\
It would be nice to have a syntax-check for this, though I
can't think of anything robust enough. Hmm maybe if I grep man/*
Good idea.
Here's a first cut.
It would have to search only .c files.
This one currently ignores 2nd and subsequent lines of
multi-line descriptions.
That's why I didn't consider it robust enough :)
# This spots a capital on a short-only line (currently only one false positive)
git grep -E '^ {0,7}-\w( ?[^ ]+)? *[A-Z][a-z]'
# This matches lines with a long option and optional preceding short option:
git grep -E '^ {0,7}(-\w( ?[^ ]+)?, )?--[^ ]* *[A-Z][a-z]'
I had been trying this which seems to handle both:
grep -E " {2,6}-.*[^.] [A-Z][a-z]" *.c
Searching man files allows us to take advantage of the extra
formatting to catch all cases (even though there currently any
extra found by this):
grep -E '^\\fB\\-' -A1 man/*.1 | grep '\.1.[A-Z][a-z]'
I'll play around with it some more and come up with something.
cheers,
Pádraig.
