Or is there maybe a way to set the pager for all help related queries to some command? I’m using bat and would like to pipe all --help through | bat --language=help
by default for the syntax highlighting and colored output… Or if you know a lower effort way to color the output of --help let me know.
cd into the directory you want to test commands.
bash
for i in
ls
do
$i --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo $i
done
any command which honors a --help will get listed. I suppose you could add a >> /tmp/output after the echo $i to log it. run it in /bin, /usr/bin, usr/local/bin
ah …and that ls in the commands listed above is a backtick ls backtick. backtick is the key in the upper left hand corner of the keyboard which shares a key with ~
