Bug ID: 22260
Summary: strip -M listed in documentation but evokes "invalid
option"
Product: binutils
Version: 2.29
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: okiddle at yahoo dot co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
In the documentation or --help output, -M is listed as a synonym for
--merge-notes. However, it doesn't appear to actually work:
% strip -M t.o
strip: invalid option -- 'M'
I'm guessing documentation was copied from objcopy without the corresponding
code. --merge-notes does get suitably ignored.
Of course, the option is only asserting the default so probably doesn't get a
whole lot of use. I would also suggest that options that assert defaults are
left out of --help output to make it easier to find what's important.
