Created attachment 170847 [details] Patch to correct the long option listed in units.1 units(1) does not accept the '--historyfile' long option as documented in the man page, it accepts the long option '--history'. The man page says these options are "for compatibility with GNU units", and the GNU units documentation agrees with the implemented option '--history'. From the man page -H filename , --historyfile filename Ignored, for compatibility with GNU units. From the source, in the 'longopts' array {"history", required_argument, NULL, 'H'}, How to reproduce: $ units --historyfile filename </dev/null >/dev/null units: unrecognized option `--historyfile' usage: units [-f unitsfile] [-H historyfile] [-UVq] [from-unit to-unit] $ units --history filename </dev/null >/dev/null
