But "-help" is just "-h -e -l -p" ...

  Which is also a gnuism
  • oneeyedpigeon 5y ago
    That's my point - "-help" violates the gnu standard.

      That's his point, Sun has nothing to do with Gnu so they are not bound to their "standards".
    • arccy 5y ago
      the point was that that gnu is not a universal standard

    “-help” being equivalent to “-h -e -l -p” is not a GNUism. It’s described by POSIX. If a utility takes the options “-a” and “-o something” and uses POSIX getopt(), then these are all equivalent: cmd -ao arg path path cmd -a -o arg path path cmd -o arg -a path path cmd -a -o arg -- path path cmd -a -oarg path path cmd -aoarg path path
