    <thetext>The help for the wic command states at some point that wic should be invoked as:

usage: wic [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]

and then, later on, it says:

See &apos;wic help &lt;COMMAND or HELP TOPIC&gt;&apos; ...


The former way (wic --help ...) doesn&apos;t seem to work, while the latter does (wic help ...)</thetext>

    <thetext>Looks like you&apos;re confusing general usage recommendations(wic [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]) with recommendations to get help (wic help &lt;COMMAND or HELP TOPIC&gt;). Please, confirm this or elaborate further.</thetext>

    <thetext>According to &quot;wic [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]&quot;
I should use:

&quot;wic --help COMMAND&quot; 


But according to &quot;wic help &lt;COMMAND or HELP TOPIC&gt;&quot;
I should use:

&quot;wic help COMMAND&quot;



This is what I understand from the help page.
What am I confusing?</thetext>

    <thetext>We agreed that usage output should be changed to
usage: wic [[--version] | [--help] | COMMAND [ARGS]

 Current &apos;wic&apos; commands are:
    help              Show help for one of the topics below
    create            Create a new OpenEmbedded image
    list              List available values for options and image properties

 Help topics:
    overview           wic overview - General overview of wic
    plugins            wic plugins - Overview and API
    kickstart          wic kickstart - wic kickstart reference

Options:
  --version   show program&apos;s version number and exit
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit


Igor, please confirm.</thetext>
