Hi,
>From the several commands I tried, HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION and
VERSION_OPTION_DESCRIPTION don't align well with others in the Usage.
$ cat --help
-u (ignored)
-v, --show-nonprinting use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Here is a trivial patch to make the printing of --help/--version be
consistent with other options from Usage.
$ cat --help
-u (ignored)
-v, --show-nonprinting use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Of course the second column is still broken, but I think that's beyond
this simple patch.
Regards,
- jesse
