Thread: unrecognized option '--help' Try "vacuumdb --help" for more information
Tools only accept --help, except as a first argument. Maybe this is a long standing tradition, but at first glance I couldn't find that it was a "wontfix" problem (perhaps for its amusement value?). [pryzbyj@sentinel-centos6 ~]$ vacuumdb -a --help vacuumdb: unrecognized option '--help' Try "vacuumdb --help" for more information. [pryzbyj@sentinel-centos6 ~]$ vacuumdb --help -a 2>&1 |sed q vacuumdb cleans and analyzes a PostgreSQL database. [pryzbyj@sentinel-centos6 ~]$ vacuumdb -V vacuumdb (PostgreSQL) 9.6beta3
