Subject: [PATCH] jffs2dump: rewrite --help output to be more suitable for help2man
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:05:30 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kr8wi9et0l.fsf@lindi1.lan> (raw)
From: Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors@iki.fi>
$ help2man /usr/sbin/jffs2dump | man /dev/stdin
currently creates badly formatted output like
-b --bigendian image is big endian
-l --littleendian image is little
endian -c --content dump image
contents -e fname --endianconvert=fname convert
image endianness, output to file fname -r --recalc-
This patch modifies the --help output for jffs2dump to be more
suitable for help2man and thus makes it possible to easily create
manual pages that stay up-to-date.

If this patch looks ok, I'd be willing to write similar patches for at
least nandread, flash_erase and flash_eraseall tools that I use
regularly myself.
best regards,
Timo Lindfors
