This is definately not documented anywhere. If you type
toursst --help it will tell you of the --help option, but it leads you
to believe that this is the last and final help:

      --help              Display this help and exit.

It is not documented in a man page, a README or even in the command
usage. It 

Additionally, the --help output is incorrect, it should indicate that
a command is required (if you run it without a command it seems to
do.... nothing). I would suggest something of the order:

Usage: toursst [options] command 

toursst --help should say not only have the command as a required
option, but it should also state specifically that --help command will
provide you more specific information. I suggest the following (see
both the change in the --help option, as well as the Commands:
section):

Usage: toursst [options] command

      --bookmark-folder=  Bookmark folder RSS bookmarks are in (empty string for
                          top folder) [default: RSS]
      --mirror=           Directory that stores pre-mirrored RSS feeds.
      --help [command]    Display this help and exit.
  -q, --quiet             Be less verbose
      --version           
  -v, --verbose           Be more verbose
Commands:
