Brendan,
In your initial response, you state:
Sorry, this is by design.
The user has requested the output produced by both the --help
and --version options, so they should go to stdout rather than
stderr.
See the GNU standards document, which mandates both output to
stdout and a successful exit status.
This is all well and good if you you only ever plan to use "help2man"
on GNU-standard software. But that is not the case: help2man has the
--help-option facility to work around non-GNU standard software that
doesn't use "--help". So why not a --catch-stderr option?
Regards,
-Steve
