Hi u34,
I think long command line options are more readable compared to short one. There fore, I suggest:
I think the short one-letter names combined into a single ‘-’ are more readable, as I suspect do many others accustomed to their decades-long use across all Unix commands, so I suggest things stay as they are. :-)
The added benefit is that the short options are faster to search for in the man page.
Just to let everyone know I have not sent a provocative message and gone away. -- u34
