Yesterday, while playing with a tool that shall remain unnamed, I needed some more details on its command line options. Out of habit, I ran tool --help
, to which it politely replied see 'man tool' for instructions
. Turduckalope ! What a tool !
To prove a sense of humor, the man page then directed me to run tool --help
— actually, I made that last bit up.
Is there a CLI interface hall of shame ?
