• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Elan Ruusamäe 2007-10-16 15:23:05 UTC]

keychain --help | less -r
i can't scroll up and down, because output went to >&2

workaround is to redirect, but it's annoying:
keychain --help 2>&1 | less -r

Expected Results:  
let --help output be in stdout so i could less(1) or grep(1) the usage.
