| Description: |
In the ::cmdline::getoptions procedure, there is no
way to differentiate between a user who wants help
and passes a -? or -help option, and a user who has
entered an unknown option. In both cases, the
getoptions proc calls
error [cmdline::usage $optlist $usage]
I would suggest the attached patch which:
1. changes [error] to [return -code -1] if the user
wants help, to differentiate from a real error
2. changes the error string if a real error
occurred.
