What he means is that the command line options should follow accepted
practices for CLI programs, like this:
-h | --help | help Display this help screen
and not this:
-q | queue Compare installed grimoire to installed spells,
generate queue of spells needing to be updated.
In other words, he's saying that the following (as an example):
-s | system-update Perform a system update (updates sorcery, grimoire,
and spells).
[ scribe update, sorcery queue, cast --queue ]
-u | update Update the sorcery scripts only.
-g | upgrade Do not update grimoire, just any spells that need to
be upgraded. [ sorcery queue, cast --queue ]
-r | rebuild rebuild all spells
-q | queue Compare installed grimoire to installed spells,
generate queue of spells needing to be updated.
queue-security Same as queue, but only for spells that need
updating due to security fixes.
should be changed like so:
-s | --system-update Perform a system update (updates sorcery, grimoire,
and spells).
[ scribe update, sorcery queue, cast --queue ]
-u | --update Update the sorcery scripts only.
-g | --upgrade Do not update grimoire, just any spells that need to
be upgraded. [ sorcery queue, cast --queue ]
-r | --rebuild rebuild all spells
-q | --queue Compare installed grimoire to installed spells,
generate queue of spells needing to be updated.
--queue-security Same as queue, but only for spells that need
updating due to security fixes.
