Which is the best command line option to get a help menu?
by elcore from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JEGC)
In Slackware, there's many programs with their helpful lists of command line options.
For the most part, they don't have a standard way to display the help menu.
So what I want to ask, why can't they all agree that -h is faster and easier to type?
Having a -h that just recommends typing --help, or info $program, well that isn't very helpful.
What do you think, which of those should be considered a Slackware standard?
