Re: is there a g_option_print_usage() command?

Thanks for the example.  I think it shows I wasn't clear in my initial 
message because if I run the example (I stripped-out the libnotify stuff 
as it wasn't on my system):

raj tardy:~/netperf4_gobject$ /tmp/example --help
Usage:
  example [OPTION...]  - APCUPSD Commandline Notification Utility GPL2 
[2007] <Skoona users sourceforge net>

Help Options:
  -?, --help                                                Show help 
options

Application Options:
  -t, --title=Uninterruptible Power Supply                  Title text 
on msg box
  -m, --message=message                                     Message 
body text
  -i, --icon-name=gtk-dialog-info ...-warning ...-error     icon to 
include next to message
  -s, --show-seconds=10                                     seconds to 
display message

raj tardy:~/netperf4_gobject$ /tmp/exmaple --bogus
-bash: /tmp/exmaple: No such file or directory
raj tardy:~/netperf4_gobject$ /tmp/example --bogus

** (example:9372): WARNING **: Parse command line failed: Unknown option 
--bogus

What I am after is some way to display the same text as --help when one 
uses a bogus command-line option.  In other words I don't just want to 
tell them that --bogus is a bogus option, I want to tell them what the 
non-bogus options are.  Since --help already does that, I was looking 
for a call I could make to cause that same text to be emitted - rather 
like one would used to do with a hand-built "usage string."  Now that 
the g_option_mumble stuff is emitting the equivalent to a usage string 
for --help I want to use that rather than build a second one in parallel.
