-h flag not consistent with Pacman.

Open dipunm opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I am still a little new to arch and pacman, so I often run commands like pacman -Rscuh whereby I write most of my command but just want to double check the arguments.

pacman will always show the relevant help options, but when using aura, I always get the aura specific help info, it never forwards to pacman.

I propose that when using main params: Q, R and S (possibly others) then forward the command to pacman help.

The -h output of the current Aura 3.x series is one of the things I dislike most about it, but luckily this problem is already solved in the on-going Rust port (see here for the associated PR).

The new functionality allows you to be very granular with -h alongside the big-letter subcommands. If you're able to wait for the 4.0 release, this will be automatically fixed for you. Until then, you can also check out Aura's man page (man aura) or explore the book.
