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 'wic help <COMMAND or HELP TOPIC>' ... The former way (wic --help ...) doesn't seem to work, while the latter does (wic help ...)

Looks like you're confusing general usage recommendations(wic [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]) with recommendations to get help (wic help <COMMAND or HELP TOPIC>). Please, confirm this or elaborate further.
According to "wic [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]" I should use: "wic --help COMMAND" But according to "wic help <COMMAND or HELP TOPIC>" I should use: "wic help COMMAND" This is what I understand from the help page. What am I confusing?
We agreed that usage output should be changed to usage: wic [[--version] | [--help] | COMMAND [ARGS] Current 'wic' 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's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit Igor, please confirm.
