Using util-linux 2.34.

choom -n 100 ls -l
choom: invalid option -- 'l'

choom should not try to parse the arguments of the command being launched.

choom: improve docs
0c49306 
It's not obvious from the current docs that you have to explicitly
split command line options and wanted commands.

You have to use "--" to inform options parser that the rest of the command line are not options at all. For example:

   choom -n 100 -- ls -l
