LANG=C pacman --help
usage:  pacman <operation> [...]
options:
    pacman {-h --help}
    pacman {-V --version}
    pacman {-Q --query}   [options] [package]
    pacman {-R --remove}  [options] <package>
    pacman {-S --sync}    [options] [package]
    pacman {-U --upgrade} [options] <file>

use 'pacman --help' with other options for more syntax


-h and --help are identical.
The important part here is : WITH other options
