Bug#698756: openssh-client: please support --help
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.0p1-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I just found that ssh-add ignores the '--help' option and instead
proceeds attempting to add the default key to the agent.
Emitting an error message would imho be a more desirable behaviour.
Kind regards,
--Toni++
