I'd try
mysterytool -H
-H for Hard drive to delete, -h is help
-H is for Hforce
-h
is halt.Which assumes you also wanted to catch fire because you didn't set
--halt-without-catching-fire
Do developers get hard-ons for using nonstandard flags?
Use
-h, --help
. None of this "no hyphen" bullshit or using the plus sign or a different flag like--info
It makes sense in context. Whaddya gonna do?
-H
is for "hell no just uninstall"Look, if they can't stick to established convention and they're not gnu (and thus magically excusably arrogant as fuck because #stallman), then you just know they'll be somehow dragging in remote libraries or something equally as fuckwitted; so just remove it and live your life.
