Below is at least one of the reason why the gnu test tests/misc/usage_vs_getopt.sh is in error state.
gnu:
> b2sum -/
b2sum: invalid option -- '/'
Try 'b2sum --help' for more information.
uutils:
> ./target/release/b2sum -/
error: Found argument '-/' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
If you tried to supply `-/` as a value rather than a flag, use `-- -/`
USAGE:
b2sum [OPTIONS] [FILE]...
For more information try --help
Explanation:
Note that whereas gnu prints '/' in the error message, uutils prints '-/'.
The gnu test greps for " '*/'*" in the output error message.
In grep, the * indicates zero or more preceding character. The error message should have something like '/' and not '-/'.
I think the gnu test is wrong. I am assuming the intention of * is meant to be any character not just the preceding character. It does not make sense to have error message that'll have multiple single quote like '''/'''. The person who wrote the test might not have know the behavior of * in grep.
I am not sure if we need to fix the uutils error message to remove preceding - or fix the gnu test.
