Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-02-01 21:16:01 UTC 
Should print a usage message I suppose.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-02-04 03:26:56 UTC 
Just clearing up the title to make it easier to find it if dupes are

Proposed patch to print the usage message
Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2003-08-11 14:37:08 UTC 
Indentation/braces should be GNU style (braces on own line, 
2 space indent)

should return nonzero for failure in this case I think.
