Really? So if I make a man page for my CLI tool you would assault me physically?

You should take your own description of your beliefs as a red flag to reassess them.

I use a few tools that don’t have man pages and I always find it jarring that I have to leave the CLI to get some basic usage info.

There is already tooling to generate manages and online/html docs from a single source. Reasonable thing seems to be “do both”. I’m not persuaded by “Windows is leaking.”

What, and ... what?


I think the previous comment was taking issue with your use of the word "violently."


I understood that. I wonder if they googled the expression afterwards so I don’t need to explain it?
