>Have you considered "man test"? FWIW, this should always be the FIRST thing one tries (or "info test"). It's a REALLY bad idea to execute a program to try to find out what it does. Suppose that "test" was an acronym for "Trash Entire System Thoroughly", and suppose that it ignored the command line. Oops! There goes your C: drive! The --help options to commands should only be used when you already know what the command does, but are unsure what parameters it takes.
