Ladislav, I think this should be general part of command line interface help, nothing specific to yast2-users. Rebecca, could you help me with wording?
I propose printing one extra sentence for each "yast2 <module> help <command>", when command has some options of string type; something like "Options of type [string] has to be written in the form 'option=value'."
The output would look like this:
jsuchome@baggins:~> yast2 kerberos configure help
YaST Configuration Module kerberos
-----------------------------------
Command 'configure'
Change the global settings of Kerberos client
Options:
kdc [string] The Key Distribution Center (KDC) address
domain [string] Default domain
realm [string] Default realm
minimum_uid [string] Minimum UID used for Kerberos authentication
clockskew [string] Clock skew (in seconds)
help Print the help for this command
verbose Show progress information
Options of type [string] has to be written in the form 'option=value'.
Options of the [string] type must be written in the form 'option=value'. *** Bug 136419 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fixed in svn trunk. |
In the yast command line help is not information how to set option value (basic syntax). For example in "yast users add help" YaST Configuration Module users -------------------------------- Command 'add' Add new user Options: username [string] Login name of the user uid [string] UID of the user .... But the information about correct syntax is missing and error message is not useful too. It should be (or something like this): YaST Configuration Module users -------------------------------- Command 'add' Add new user Basic Syntax: yast2 users add <options>=<values> Options: username [string] Login name of the user uid [string] UID of the user ....
