The '--help' message should be a simple summarize of all options, ideally not much than for example "grep --help". I suggest something like: -r ... -i ... -e ... -w shortcut for "-f colorized -rn --disable-msg-cat=RC" --zope ... --list-msgs Show list of message ids (and not Generate pylint's full documentation.) --generate-rcfile Messages control: -c, --enable-checker=<checker ids> -C, --disable-checker=<checker ids> -k, --enable-msg-cat=<msg cats> -K, --disable-msg-cat=<msg cats> -m, --enable-msg=<msg ids> -M, --disable-msg=<msg ids> and maybe a few more. And a message saying "see manpage for a lot of other interesting options". (The short cuts in the section "Message control" are suggestions, too. | |

(add comment)I think the "long help" is worth keeping. A standard way of doing this is having -h / --help giving a short help, and -H / --option-help give the whole thing (and having this explained by the short help message).
