Help

List of programs made by evil monsters:

  • dtach (--help, not -h)
  • mkdir (--help, not -h)
  • find (--help, not -h)
  • xterm (-h, not --help)
  • git (--help, not -h)
  • rm (--help, -h)
  • touch (--help, not -h)
  • halt (-h is ignored (!!!))
  • notmuch (--help or help, not -h)
  • timeout (--help, not -h)
  • blink1-tool (no args, neither --help nor -h)
  • shutdown (--help, not -h)

Honorable mention:

  • tmux (-h is an error, but acts the same)
  • zsh (-h means something other than --help)
  • bash (-h means something other than --help)
  • ls (-h means something other than --help)
  • go (neither -h nor --help work, because of Rob Pike's weird religion)

The coolest ever:

  • rsync (-h means --help if it's all you passed, but --human-readable if you passed other options)
