elfshaker --help
indicates options must precede subcommands while the hint displayed byelfshaker store
indicates that--data-dir
must be specified after the subcommand.IIUC, elfshaker is entirely agnostic about command line argument order. For example
elfshaker store --data-dir dir name --verbose
works even though the arguments are not in an order that is documented to work. In this case, I think it is okay for the documentation to either mention agnosticism to argument order or simply document a consistent usage, but to document two mutually inconsistent usages without mention of agnosticism to argument order is not ideal.MWE
