Hi,

gconftool-2.1 mentions a --usage option:

       --usage
              Display brief usage message.

However it doesn't seem to exist:

emilio@saturno:~$ LC_ALL=C gconftool-2 --usage
Error while parsing options: Unknown option --usage.
Run 'gconftool-2 --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

Either update the manpage, or implement the --usage option.

I removed the non-existing flag from the man page.
Comment 2 Michael Biebl 2013-06-06 01:21:28 UTC
--usage still shows up in the man page:

SYNOPSIS
       gconftool-2  [-?] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-s|--set] [-g|--get] [--set-schema] [-u|--unset] [--recur‐
 

It should also be removed from the synopsis
