Summary0000325: cin --help
DescriptionSome programs fight against the simultaneous use of "-h" and "--help". Instead, they indicate an error that the unwanted option was not found and point to the other option to get help, probably a "fuck you" joke for insiders. CGG, on the other hand, only knows "-h" and otherwise searches the file system for something useful, which is not right by convention.
