-h option is overloaded for zumastor define volume #82

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. `zumastor define volume -h` 
2. Look at the usage information
3. Get confused

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-h should only be used once, it is instead used for --help and --hourly

Resolution: stop using -h for help.  -?|--help of for help.

Zumastor script needs to be updated uniformly.

er, sorry.
see getopt(3C). The characters question-mark (?) and colon (:) must not be used 
as 
option characters by an application.

True that.  Taking the lead from gcc, which supports only --help and not -h for 
the
obvious reason (don't pollute the single letter space with generic options) we 
can
just drop -h and rely entirely on --help.
