Help is not printed #113

Open dariober opened 8 years ago

dariober commented 8 years ago

Hello,

On bedtools v2.25.0 compiled from repository revision 1529. It appears that "-h" or "--help" do not print the help, so for sub-programs that don't have mandatory arguments is not possible to see the help. For example:

mergeBed -h ## Nothing printed
mergeBed    ## Hangs waiting for stdin

Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Dario

This works for me with v2.25.0. Are you sure your mergeBed macro is calling the 2.25.0 version of bedtools?

bedtools merge -h
