That's a GNUism, so you won't find it in BSD tools.

- mishac 8y agoIt's a good GNUism though, that I also wish the BSDs supported. No-one's saying that the BSDs should start supporting GNU style --long-options or switch to info instead of man, but friendlier help messages are always a nice thing.
- JdeBP 8y agoStrictly speaking, those are usage messages not help messages.

- justin66 8y ago> friendlier help messages are always a nice thing That's not the dispute. It's a question of how much you value brevity. syspatch --help usage: syspatch [-c | -l | -R | -r] looks quite friendly to me, but YMMV.
- jsight 8y agoYeah, but why not adopt it? GNU has done a lot of things right.
