--remote-tab-silent not mentioned in --help

[Nico Weber]

Hi all,

Ted Pavlic mentioned on the vim-mac list that --remote-tab-silent is
not mentioned in the --help output and suggests to add it. I think
that's a good idea. What do you think?

Upgrade your runtime files. --remote-tab-silent is mentioned in my version of
remote.txt, dated 2006 Apr 30 on line 1, or Oct. 27 on its directory timestamp.

Best regards,
Tony.

Yes it's in the help file, but Nico is asking, I believe,
about the output from 'vim --help' or 'gvim --help' which
only display the following --remote variants:

--remote <files> Edit <files> in a Vim server if possible
--remote-silent <files> Same, don't complain if there is no server
--remote-wait <files> As --remote but wait for files to have been edited
--remote-wait-silent <files> Same, don't complain if there is no server
--remote-tab <files> As --remote but open tab page for each file
--remote-send <keys> Send <keys> to a Vim server and exit
--remote-expr <expr> Evaluate <expr> in a Vim server and print result

gvim displays the same ones.

ah, sorry; but the output of vim --help is already so long that I need to
filter it thru |more (or, on Linux, |less) in order to be able to read it.

Best regards,
Tony.

That is what this programs are made for.

I think the output of '--help' should be complete ,in that it lists
all possible arguments of a program. It is not mentioned
in the manpage either.

There has been some positive feedback on this, so here's a patch to
implement it.

Bye,
