I don't consider --help-command an 'only compatibility' feature. It's the primary way I read cmake documentation. > The output of the > individual domain objects is still pretty easy to use. By 'domain object', do you mean the individual .rst files? How would you read them without --help-command and without find+cat? How find+cat easier than --help-command? > All the > other output is just whole man pages which are better viewed with > real man page or html viewers. The --help-command option is much more convenient than man cmake-commands /find_package n # enough times to get to the find_package docs, not references to it. It is also a disadvantage that the man context is not the command line context. Think of when you use cat or head instead of vi/less. Are you referring to something more convenient? I'm not a man page expert. There may be another way to get to the find_package docs than the above?
