Hi Martin,
apparently all tools installed in $prefix/bin/ output their usage
information on STDERR instead of STDOUT. This has been reported as Debian
Bug !#346556 some time ago, but has never been forwarded to you (please
accept my apologies for this).
I attached a patch against the current SVN rev. 463 which should fix this.
Moreover this patch solves following somewhat related, but not really
important issues:
* make use of macro GWEN_ARGS_RESULT_HELP instead of using hardcoded -2
* make use of otherwise unused function usage() in cardcommander.cpp
During fixing these bugs I discovered following issues (not neccessary an
error):
* chipcard-tool does not have a usage() function and outputs the raw
options only. This is somewhat ugly and -- more important -- does not give
any information about the possible commands. I would be glad if this could
be fixed too.
* src/tools/kvkcard/main.c:152 talks about !KVKCard3, shouldn't it be
!KVKCard (without "3")?
* src/tools/memcard/main.c:156 talks about !MemCard2, shouldn't it be
!MemCard (without "2")?
