[Bug 1670] New: Send --help to stdout, not stderr

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1670

Summary: Send --help to stdout, not stderr
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.3p1
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs[at]mindrot.org
ReportedBy: jari.aalto[at]cante.net


This can be expected to appear in stderr:

$ ssh -8
sh: illegal option -- 8
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c
cipher_spec]

But this should go to stdout, not stderr:

$ ssh --help | less

Please chnage the -help option to send text to stdout, not stderr.
See GNU cp(1), ls(1) etc.
