In going through the various parts of the system to check out ticket #1222, I have come across many different command line utilities. It's easy to spot the ones from GNU, since the command line options --version or --help give useful information about the app. Not so for a lot of the other ones, this includes the Haiku specific ones. Programs such as alert, beep, copyattr, makebootable and others. I figured I would float the idea on this list to see if perhaps we should add support for the --version and/or --help / -h options on the Haiku specific command line apps. I see that copyattr has the -h / --help, but no --version. In some cases such as beep adding this option might double the size of the code ;) -scottmc
