Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: James K. Lowden (jklowden) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: --help spellcheck and stderr Initial Comment: When invoked as 'bogofilter --help' bogofilter version 0.92.8 writes its help output to standard error. I don't see the advantage of that. The disadvantage is that piping the output to more(1) or grep(1) doesn't work. IMO --help output should be written to stdout. There are some spelling errors in the help output. Andrew Jackson said, "It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word", but still I think consistency has its place. I noticed "classify": $ bogofilter --help 2>&1 |grep clasi -M, --clasify-mbox - set mailbox mode. Classify multiple messages in an mbox formatted file. -b, --clasify-stdin - set streaming bulk mode. Process multiple messages (files or directories) read from STDIN. $ bogofilter --help 2>&1 |grep classi classification options: -B, --classify-files=list - set bulk mode. Process multiple messages (files or directories) named on the command line. bogofilter is a tool for classifying email as spam or non-spam. Scanning for "classify", one would never find the -b option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=499997&aid=1218935&group_id=62265 |
