Bug#985003: shellcheck: –list-optional: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: shellcheck
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg at mirbsd.de

$ shellcheck –list-optional
–list-optional: –list-optional: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

This was copy/paste from the manual page:

       –list-optional
              Output  a  list  of known optional checks.  These can be enabled
              with -o flags or enable directives.

Incidentally, the leading dash is U+2013, not a hyphen-minus.
Typing this myself doesn’t make it work though…

$ shellcheck -list-optional
unrecognized option `-l'
