Subject: [PATCH 04/10] script/*: fold $usage into $help, support `-h' instead of -?
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2020 01:15:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200901011507.1643-5-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200901011507.1643-1-e@80x24.org>

`-h' doesn't conflict with anything, and some users (including
git users) may be more accustomed to using it rather than the
rarely-seen-outside-of-Getopt::Long `-?' switch.

We can also rely on the GetOptions() function to emit a proper
error message instead of just "bad command-line args".
