I know we want to keep --help output short, but I find it useful to see
the TIME_STYLE in usage output, as it might avoid confusion.
Unfortunately, I didn't find a nice 1-liner ... which could then go close
to the description of the --time-style option.
Actually how about using the same --help as ls.
In that way the explanation is more accurate,
and translations are shared?
I'd like to ... but:
du(1) is handling --time-style a bit different than ls(1):
the latter supports "posix-" prefixes, and du(1) ignores TIME_STYLE='locale'.
WDYT?
Have a nice day,
