Hi there,

From the docs:
"usage: The “Usage” string that will be printed with the help5. If
not specified, it will be generated automatically. Optional."

Does it mean I cannot use the autogenerated part of the usage string
(you know everything after the product/package name) if I specify
"usage"?


hi there!

well actually, if you specify your usage, this will overwrite the one that's automatically generated...

if you need also the one that's automatically generated, probably you should use "purpose" or "description" (http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/gengetopt.html#Basic-Usage).

Would that fit your need? Otherwise, could you please provide me your scenario?

hope to hear from you soon!
cheers
        Lorenzo
