$ pacboy -h
did you mean 'pacboy help'?
usage:  pacman <operation> [...]
operations:
    pacman {-h --help}
    pacman {-V --version}
    pacman {-D --database} <options> <package(s)>
    pacman {-F --files}    [options] [file(s)]
    pacman {-Q --query}    [options] [package(s)]
    pacman {-R --remove}   [options] <package(s)>
    pacman {-S --sync}     [options] [package(s)]
    pacman {-T --deptest}  [options] [package(s)]
    pacman {-U --upgrade}  [options] <file(s)>

use 'pacman {-h --help}' with an operation for available options

I'd guess it's on purpose, since it passes all options through to pacman and just suggests to call "pacboy help" to get the wrapper specific help.

The output you get is from "pacman -h" and "pacman --help".
