   ‘--help’ unrecognized option, -h for help

        Or the opposite:

        mysterytool -h

     -h unrecognized option, --help for help

        Both need to burn.

            Some of the older programs and scripts I’ve seen in the codebases I help maintain have -u or -?. If I have an excuse to do any changes to them I’ll usually change them to use -h and --help.

      And

      mysterytool -h

      mysterytool: try our info page that requires a custom viewer because gnu is better than standards. And there is no regular man page because fuck you

        If I can’t get it with tldr mysterytoolafter all that, then clearly the developer intended it to stay a mystery.

        It could be worse. The documentation could be online, only accessible through a paywall.
