I don’t understand how devs can be too lazy to write documentation but somehow they’d rather explain the same shit in discord over and over and over and over and over and over
Why is discord so popular in non-gaming circles? People use it as a shitty, bloated and centralized IRC clone, with the voice fuction being completely ignored.
The help command is one of the first things I work on in any project. Even if I’m never gonna share it, my future self will appreciate it.
$ mysterytool $WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Knowing my luck, It probably deleted a rarely used system library and will lead to unpredictable crashes.
$ mysterytool -vv DEBUG: Complete. $
But also
mysterytool --help
mysterytool: unrecognized option: '-'ok then…
mysterytool -h
mysterytool: unrecognized option: 'h'mysterytool --help ‘--help’ unrecognized option, -h for helpI will burn this motherfucker to the ground
Or the opposite:
mysterytool -h -h unrecognized option, --help for helpBoth need to burn.
I just want to say this is a masterful use of the format.
Embedded *nix be like
Cries in busybox
That, at least, had an excuse to be terse. If you use busybox, you probably have a real machine with the ability to browse the online documentation, anyway.
If the program’s author hasn’t bothered to properly document its function, then it has no business being on my machine.
“tHe PrOgRaM iS sElF dOcUmEnTiNg”
I’d try
mysterytool -H-H for Hard drive to delete, -h is help
-his halt.
