Subject: [PATCH v2 08/11] tools/kvm_stat: suppress usage information on command line errors
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 12:25:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171211112529.33706-9-raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171211112529.33706-1-raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: Stefan Raspl <stefan.raspl@de.ibm.com>

Errors while parsing the '-g' command line argument result in display of
usage information prior to the error message. This is a bit confusing,
as the command line is syntactically correct.
To reproduce, run 'kvm_stat -g' and specify a non-existing or inactive
guest.
