Max length of help output?

[endquote]

I have a tool with a fair number of arguments and subcommands, and the help is getting cut off.

in node v6? #530

6.1.0...

[creeperyang]

Cut off +1, node v6.2 and command v2.9.0.

[GCheung55]

Cut off here as well. node v6.1.0 and commander v2.9.0.

I have the same issue with node 6.2.0 and commander 2.9.0

It appear that the cut off is due to the program.exit(0) which doesn't give time for the stdout.write operation to complete. Similar issue have been reported. So most likely the implementation should avoid to force exit, instead it should end in a normal flow without this call.

The comments in #540 suggest this was fixed in node 6.6.0.

This issue has not had any activity in over six months. It isn't likely to get acted on due to this report.

Feel free to open a new issue if it comes up again, with new information and renewed interest.

Thank you for your contributions.
