I had a tool in $PATH and needed to determine whether its from GNU coreutils/findutils/... , busybox, or uutils. While the GNU and Busybox state their origin in the --help and --version , uutils stays (mostly) silent about its origin.
Add something like part of uutils to --help and also mention uutils in the --version output.
diffutils currently does support neither --version nor --help.
Note: This bug is part of a series of bugreports across all tools of uutils. Please check wether I've covered all your utilities.
