Doug Davis 2203b37733 Pretty the help text
This modifies the "docker help" text so that it is no wider than 80 chars
and each description fits on one line. This will also try to use ~ when
possible

Added a test to make sure we don't go over 80 chars again.
Added a test to make sure we use ~

Applied rules/tests to all docker commands - not just main help text

Closes #10214

README.md

Package mflag (aka multiple-flag) implements command-line flag parsing.
It's an hacky fork of the official golang package

It adds:

  • both short and long flag version
    ./example -s red ./example --string blue

  • multiple names for the same option

$>./example -h
Usage of example:
  -s, --string="": a simple string

It is very flexible on purpose, so you can do things like:

$>./example -h
Usage of example:
  -s, -string, --string="": a simple string

Or:

$>./example -h
Usage of example:
  -oldflag, --newflag="": a simple string

You can also hide some flags from the usage, so if we want only --newflag:

$>./example -h
Usage of example:
  --newflag="": a simple string
$>./example -oldflag str
str

See example.go for more details.
