We could improve the current man-based situation in two ways: * Have the "synopsis" section show the available operations. Then running "nix-env --help" will show the most important information right on the first screen. * Have separate manpages for each subcommand. Then "nix-env -q --help" could invoke "man nix-env-q" or something like that. > There is a `git help` command that opens a man page indeed, but `git <command> > -h` prints a short summary of options. Ah, I didn't know that. (I always use --help, which invokes "man".) -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
