First simply use "php -h" but i am also thinking about adding a man page. That is a bit too much text for 'php -h'. It should be moved to the online manual. Adding a man page would be great too.

I wrote already i will do so...but haven't yet the time.

[snip] find . -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h' | php -B '$l=0;' -R '$f=count(file($argn)); echo "$argn($n)\n";$l+=$f;' -E 'echo "Files: $argi, Lines: $l\n";' This appears to be equivelant of: find . -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h' | php -r 'while (!feof(STDIN)) { $q=count(file($n=trim(fgets(STDIN)))); echo "$n($q)\n"; $l+=$q; $f++; } echo "Files $f, Lines: $l\n";' Am I correct in this assumption? If yes, could please try to point out what are the advantages of -B -R -E and -F over using just -r?

Yes it is the same result. I never said you cannot do it otherwise. The reason i implemented the switches is that it makes thinks easier. And sometimes making things easier for users is better than knowing as a developer that there is a solution. regards marcus
