Rod, It looks like a decision has already been made to favor “switches”. See commit 4addebfed2 on Jan 11, 2012.

Par, I am the author of this so the inconstancy is my fault. The table of options uses switches, but the --help and usage strings use switch. I think the correct one should be switches. I will be happy to make the patch if you agree.

I would like to write a patch to make this consistent. Which one is it supposed to be? --switch is used in: * NEWS file * srun/salloc/sbatch --help * ../doc/html/topology.shtml --switches is used in: * RELEASE_NOTES file * srun/salloc/sbatch man-pages * source code getopt calls Since --switch is an abbreviation of --switches both will works, so this is only a documentation issue.
