Here is the output of vcdbg --help

Usage: vcdbg [options] command arguments

Where options is one of:
  -o, --output filename   Open filename instead of using the videocore memory
  -f, --follow            Output new data every 5 seconds as it arrives
  -h, --help              Print this information

Use the command help to get a list of available commends
or help followed by a command name to get help on a 
particular command.
  1. How do you "Use the command help to get a list of available commends"? The exact command should be presented verbatim so we don't have to guess. i.e. sudo vcdbg help. Or at least put help in quotes.
  2. "commends" is misspelled - should be "commands".
  3. vcdbg --version does not work, so I don't know which version I am using - if that matters

What is the point of posting a comment on a 3-year-old issue with a link to another new issue in the same repo? Don't you understand that the same people will see both messages and think you are just impatient and annoying?
