I'm tempted to say add a one-liner, but there are already *four*
lines at the end of even the smallest --help output message, e.g.,
$ sync --help
Usage: sync [OPTION]
Force changed blocks to disk, update the super block.
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Report sync bugs to address@hidden
GNU coreutils home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>
General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/>
Report sync translation bugs to <http://translationproject.org/team/>
I guess you'd like to see this added:
For complete documentation, run "info coreutils 'sync invocation'"
Might not work on broken systems.
Maybe.
Though I'm tempted to remove the "Report ... translation bugs..."
line when using the C (or maybe all of en_*, too) locale.
I like that idea.
Other opinions?
Only that it is already to much info there...
