Sure, like checking if we didn't forget an option, or something
(actually I remember reading about 'sysinfo' with a -k option :)
You can also pick one and code:
http://obos.gravity24hr.com/modules.php?name=CL_Apps
http://clapcrest.free.fr/revol/beos/openbeos_bin_commands.html

worked out currently need to be changed more atomically than just a
