        Or the opposite:

        mysterytool -h
        
             -h unrecognized option, --help for help
        

        Both need to burn.

            Some of the older programs and scripts I’ve seen in the codebases I help maintain have -u or -?. If I have an excuse to do any changes to them I’ll usually change them to use -h and --help.

        If I can’t get it with tldr mysterytoolafter all that, then clearly the developer intended it to stay a mystery.

        It could be worse. The documentation could be online, only accessible through a paywall.
