Bug Description
The help and man page say, and the UCSPI standard mandates, that the options -q. -Q, and -v should be supported. This is not the case: options are treated as normal arguments. This means that if you pass any options the program doesn't work as it should.
A patch that fixes this bug is attached. It also fixes the help output which wrongly lists the -c option (which is also not honored and doesn't make sense for a client anyway).
To post a comment you must log in.
Here is an amended patch that suppresses error messages when the -q option is in effect, as mandated by the UCSPI standard.
