usr.bin/tar bsdtar.c
Log:
Clean up usage message(s):
* Usage goes to stderr, not stdout
* Use correct argument markup
* bsdtar --help no longer exits with an error return code
* ensure that the word "bsdtar" appears in the first
line output from "bsdtar --help" (even if the program is
invoked as "tar")
In particular, scripts can now test for the presence of bsdtar.
For example, in /bin/sh:
if (tar --help 2>&1 | grep bsdtar >/dev/null 2>&1) then \
echo bsdtar; else echo not bsdtar; fi
