You can make any argp-using program infloop simply by running it with --help and with something like ARGP_HELP_FMT=rmargin=a in the environment. Or use a valid (but small) width: ARGP_HELP_FMT=rmargin=2
$ time ARGP_HELP_FMT=rmargin=2 tar --help > /dev/null ARGP_HELP_FMT=rmargin=2 tar --help > /dev/null 35.49s user 0.17s system 97% cpu 36.648 total [Exit 130 (INT)] _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
