RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description
Duplicate use of parameter -h in virt-viewer/remote-viewer manual

Version:
virt-viewer-0.5.6-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
# man virt-viewer
OPTIONS
       The following options are accepted when running "virt-viewer":

       -h, --help
           Display command line help summary

       -h HOTKEYS, --hotkeys HOTKEYS
           Override the default hotkey bindings with HOTKEYS. Where HOTKEYS is
           <action1>=<key1>[+<key2>][,<action2>=<key3>[+<key4>]]. Key-names are case-insensitive,
           valid actions are: toggle-fullscreen, release-cursor, smartcard-insert and smartcard-
           remove. Examples:

             --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12

             --hotkeys=release-cursor=ctrl+alt

           Note that hotkeys for which no binding is given are disabled, specifying an empty string
           disables all hotkeys.


# man remote-viewer
OPTIONS
       The following options are accepted when running "remote-viewer":

       -h, --help
           Display command line help summary

       -h HOTKEYS, --hotkeys HOTKEYS
           Override the default hotkey bindings with HOTKEYS. Where HOTKEYS is
           <action1>=<key1>[+<key2>][,<action2>=<key3>[+<key4>]]. Key-names are case-insensitive,
           valid actions are: toggle-fullscreen, release-cursor, smartcard-insert and smartcard-
           remove. Examples:

             --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12

             --hotkeys=release-cursor=ctrl+alt

           Note that hotkeys for which no binding is given are disabled, specifying an empty string
           disables all hotkeys.

# remote-viewer -h

Actual results：
Duplicate parameter -h in virt-viewer/remote-viewer manual

Expected results:
Only one use for parameter -h in virt-viewer/remote-viewer manual

Comment 2 CongDong 2013-07-03 11:15:18 UTC 
The content in man page and help message are different about the help option:
It's "-?" in "--help" message, but it's "-h" in man page

# virt-viewer --help
...

Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2013-07-03 11:24:42 UTC 
This is a regression caused by

  commit 008491a2d99b626877898a6782cf4c2010bbb7db
  Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede>
  Date:   Wed Dec 19 15:56:43 2012 +0100

    Make hotkey configuration functionality available from the cmdline (v2)
    

which broke the existing usage of '-h' as an alias for --help. I'd suggest the hotkeys should be exposed using '-H'
Comment 5 tingting zheng 2013-07-09 12:11:19 UTC 
Tested with:
virt-viewer-0.5.6-3.el6.x86_64

# man virt-viewer
       -H HOTKEYS, --hotkeys HOTKEYS
           Override the default hotkey bindings with HOTKEYS. Where HOTKEYS is
           <action1>=<key1>[+<key2>][,<action2>=<key3>[+<key4>]]. Key-names are case-insensitive,
           valid actions are: toggle-fullscreen, release-cursor, smartcard-insert and smartcard-
           remove. Examples:

             --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12

             --hotkeys=release-cursor=ctrl+alt

           Note that hotkeys for which no binding is given are disabled, specifying an empty string
           disables all hotkeys.

# virt-viewer -h
  -H, --hotkeys                                       Customise hotkeys


# man remote-viewer
       -H HOTKEYS, --hotkeys HOTKEYS
           Override the default hotkey bindings with HOTKEYS. Where HOTKEYS is
           <action1>=<key1>[+<key2>][,<action2>=<key3>[+<key4>]]. Key-names are case-insensitive,
           valid actions are: toggle-fullscreen, release-cursor, smartcard-insert and smartcard-
           remove. Examples:

             --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12

             --hotkeys=release-cursor=ctrl+alt

           Note that hotkeys for which no binding is given are disabled, specifying an empty string
           disables all hotkeys.

# remote-viewer -h

  -H, --hotkeys                                        Customise hotkeys
