Description bsmejkal 2021-11-03 09:29:11 UTC

Description of problem:
Can we show the verbose option and others for dsctl also in the "usage:" part in the help of actions?

If I run:

# dsctl -h
usage: dsctl [-h] [-v] [-j] [-l] [instance] {restart,start,stop,status,remove,db2index,db2bak,db2ldif,dbverify,bak2db,ldif2db,backups,ldifs,tls,healthcheck,get-nsstate,ldifgen,dsrc,cockpit} ...

# dsctl instance_name -h
usage: dsctl [-h] [-v] [-j] [-l] [instance] {restart,start,stop,status,remove,db2index,db2bak,db2ldif,dbverify,bak2db,ldif2db,backups,ldifs,tls,healthcheck,get-nsstate,ldifgen,dsrc,cockpit} ...
dsctl: error: argument {restart,start,stop,status,remove,db2index,db2bak,db2ldif,dbverify,bak2db,ldif2db,backups,ldifs,tls,healthcheck,get-nsstate,ldifgen,dsrc,cockpit}: invalid choice: 'instance_name' (choose from 'restart', 'start', 'stop', 'status', 'remove', 'db2index', 'db2bak', 'db2ldif', 'dbverify', 'bak2db', 'ldif2db', 'backups', 'ldifs', 'tls', 'healthcheck', 'get-nsstate', 'ldifgen', 'dsrc', 'cockpit')


Like this it shows the other options in "usage:" part.
Then if I run for example:

# dsctl test db2bak -h
usage: dsctl [instance] db2bak [-h] [archive]

positional arguments:
  archive     The destination for the archive. This will be created during the db2bak process.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

It does not show the other options in "usage:" part like in previous commands and it might be confusing.
