Mutually exclusive options & help

[dblevins]

Something we might possibly support. Not sure what kind of an API we'd make for this, but here are some use cases. Couldn't find many commands that acknowledge this formally

tail

 tail [-F | -f | -r] [-q] [-b number | -c number | -n number] [file ...]

F, f & r are mutually exclusive. b,c,n are mutually exclusive.

tar

tar {-t | -x} [options] [patterns]

t and x are mutually exclusive

jar

The synopsis is a bit large but c, u, x, t, i are all mutually exclusive

   jar c[v0M]f jarfile [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]
   jar c[v0]mf manifest jarfile [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]
   jar c[v0M] [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]
   jar c[v0]m manifest [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]

   Update jar file
   jar u[v0M]f jarfile [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]
   jar u[v0]mf manifest jarfile [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]
   jar u[v0M] [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]
   jar u[v0]m manifest [ -C dir ] inputfiles [ -Joption ]

   Extract jar file
   jar x[v]f jarfile [ inputfiles ] [ -Joption ]
   jar x[v] [ inputfiles ] [ -Joption ]

   List table of contents of jar file
   jar t[v]f jarfile [ inputfiles ] [ -Joption ]
   jar t[v] [ inputfiles ] [ -Joption ]

   Add index to jar file
   jar i jarfile [ -Joption ]

cut

b, c, f are mutually exclusive

 cut -b list [-n] [file ...]
 cut -c list [file ...]
 cut -f list [-d delim] [-s] [file ...]
