BTW: I'd like to speak against help2man here:
I find it is far better than independently maintaining a separate man
page source, out of date (this was the case with virtually all GNU man
pages before help2man).
help2man creates too terse manpage from too long --help.
help2man supports ways of including text in the man page which does not
come from --help. The fact that no one (to my knowledge) does this
shows that people find the manified --help output mostly "enough".
(The --help need not otherwise list all options
No point in arguing about this hypothetical, but for the record, I
disagree; I am only frustrated when --help does not list all the
options. Inevitably the one which the developers did not think was
important enough to list is the one which I need.
Best,
karl
