Subject: command line interface conventions and best practices
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2020 10:56:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <EDBB9002-FDA0-4951-9671-5C01D9C34EE6@fuzziesquirrel.com> (raw)

Does anyone have a favorite reference that outlines de-facto command line  
interface conventions and best practices?  Things like e.g. long options  
should have two dashes, options should not have capital letters, etc?

thanks!
