Subject: [PATCH] conf, log: On -h / --help, print usage to stdout, not stderr
Date: Sun,  4 Jun 2023 07:50:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230604055001.619958-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)

Erik suggests that this makes it easier to grep for options, and with
--help we're anyway printing usage information as expected, not as
part of an error report.
