Running man nikto should yield a manpage for nikto with concise and accurate information about synopsis, usage, options, etc.
The manpage should reference the -H option and the -Help option for an extended help listing, and should not reference -help until it has been implemented. If making reference to -h, it should be within the context of the -host option, not as shorthand for -help
Actual behavior
man nikto
...
OPTIONS
Below are all of the Nikto command line options and explanations. A
brief version of this text is available by running Nikto with the -h
(-help) option.
...
I have updated the Nikto.1 file for the man page--thanks. The html/xml files have been removed in favor of the new documentation location of https://github.com/sullo/nikto/wiki
Expected behavior
Running
man nikto
should yield a manpage for nikto with concise and accurate information about synopsis, usage, options, etc.The manpage should reference the
-H
option and the-Help
option for an extended help listing, and should not reference-help
until it has been implemented. If making reference to-h
, it should be within the context of the-host
option, not as shorthand for-help
Actual behavior
I'm not sure where all the references to this are, but I found a couple: https://github.com/sullo/nikto/blob/2aa550f70e53212c76693b78c6960aadcf8443f2/documentation/sections/options.xml#L3-L4 https://github.com/sullo/nikto/blob/2aa550f70e53212c76693b78c6960aadcf8443f2/program/docs/nikto_manual.html#L119-L120
NOTE: Running
nikto -h
yields a short help output, but only because it's invalid usage.-help
,--help
, and-h
without a hostname are all invalid.Steps to reproduce
man nikto
