The next release of OpenSSL splits the “help” for commands into sections, like this:

 

; ./apps/openssl rehash --help

Usage: rehash [options] [directory...]

 

General options:

-help        Display this summary

-h           Display this summary

-compat      Create both new- and old-style hash links

-old         Use old-style hash to generate links

-n           Do not remove existing links

 

Output options:

-v           Verbose output

 

Parameters:

directory    One or more directories to process (optional)

 

Should the order of options in the manpages follow this layout?  Should there be a blank line (in the SYNOPSIS section!) between the option sections?  Please take a look at https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10885 which does this for s_client.  You can see just the changed file here: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/71d8c19554a65cf0717f6b7e7b34849456e76888/doc/man1/openssl-s_client.pod.in

 

Replies to me will be summarized for the list.  Thanks!
