That's funny... I almost always try "command --help" first if I'm not sure. Of course some may point out "man command" but I always find man painful, and revert to google.


At least one hairy old Unix killall took no arguments – so "killall --help" was just as bad…


I think I might have done that too, but I can't remember. This was quite a few years ago.
