>Description:
Someone decided it would be easy to just insert the string used by getopt() in the usage fprintf, but this is bad, because as the c flag requires an argument, it has a colon after it, and the usage output might lead a reader to believe 'su -:' did something.
>How-To-Repeat:
Type su -c without any argument.
