Was trying to extract a totally legit copy of Skate 3 I downloaded today to play on my Steam Deck
It's insane that this isn't consistent.
Any combination of -h, -? and --help exists between tools (from 0 to all 3 of them)
-h
-?
--help
Never seen -?, it's either -h, --help, or -help for programs that just want to be different.
-help
One example for it is … tar!
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tar.1.html
I suppose I usually try -h and if that doesn't work I try the long version or the man page.
So would have been 1:4
I use Arch btw
