Description Martin Frodl 2014-06-10 15:31:33 UTC
Description of problem:

--owner, --whiteboard and --mine are a couple of command-line options that bkr job-list can be run with. The corresponding man page shows them without leading hyphens, though:


$ man bkr job-list

[...]
OPTIONS
       [...]
       owner <username>
              Limit to jobs which are owned by the user identified by
              <username>.

       whiteboard <string>
              Limit to jobs whose whiteboard contains <string>

       mine   Presence of --mine is equivalent to including own username
              in --owner
[...]


All the other options are correctly documented with the leading hyphens. In the case of their ommission the desired option is not recognized:


$ bkr job-list --mine
[prints my jobs only]
$ bkr job-list mine
[prints a zillion jobs I have totally nothing to do with]


The respective man page should be modified accordingly.

The command should also error out when given positional args, to catch usage errors like that.
