Where are options described for command line tools
« on: February 17, 2012, 12:42:36 AM »
I am stuck.

I try to find any place where commands are explained with their options, like tce-load, tce-run, tce-setup, and other TC specific commands. The only help I can find is Usage string with strange options line -wicl without any explanation, or quite useless recommendations on the wiki site to use a particular option in a specific situation.

Does this information exist at all? Would it be sensible to create a separate page on the wiki for each command explaining each option?

I have to ask the question I asked exactly 2 years ago (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,4977.msg26398.htm). How to load an extension by mounting from the hard drive, and how to load by loading it into memory?

Hi oleg
Yes, the help returned by  those commands is rather cryptic, however, these commands are scripts and if you
look inside them there are some comments at the beginning of those files.

Would be good to have a WIKI page by those who are using and knows them. Much better place would be the official WEB FAQ, as they are official TC components and unique, can't find man opages in example ARCH.

Thank you. Somehow it was the last place I could think of. Fortunately I can read shell.

Hi oleg
Your welcome. I don't know about the other commands, but the tce-load script gives examples of command usage
in the opening comments. It's to bad those don't get printed out when asking for help.
