output of `writelto -h` starts with other information

That is pulling from mmfunctions where LTO_INDEX_DIR is defined. I didn't know writelto -h would pull that text. So, either -h needs to be adjusted or mmfunctions does. I don't know what is easier from your end. I can make the changes in mmfunctions if you want.

Though I do think the writelto help page is perhaps a good place to have information about setting LTO_INDEX_DIR and LTO_MD5_FLAGS in mmconfig. I wouldn't say they have nothing to do with the help.

The other -h we currently have in the LTOpers’ functions do inform the user on:

• installed version
• abstract
• dependencies
• how to use the functions which their parameters

Therefore I personally do not think that the information about the LTO_INDEX_DIR should appear here, but I am happy to change my mind, if I am wrong.

However, if you wish that the information about setting LTO_INDEX_DIR and LTO_MD5_FLAGS in mmconfig is given in writelto, then I would suggest that this appears at the end, and not at the very beginning. Function name and version should come first, in my opinion.

I am closing this. Sorry, my company will not longer use LTOpers for its clients, but switch to openLTO, because I am spending too much time tracking incompatibilities with mm and trying to keep this open for users outside CUNY.

reopening since issue persists

Opening a new one would have avoided that it appears under the ones I am working on… ;-)
