            Bug ID: 22099
           Summary: getconf help info
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.23
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jg at jguk dot org
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

I noticed two different types of help output. Examples below. The later 
seems a little hard to comprehend.  Could they be unified?

$ getconf
Usage: getconf [-v specification] variable_name [pathname]
       getconf -a [pathname]


$ getconf --help
Usage: getconf [-v SPEC] VAR
  or:  getconf [-v SPEC] PATH_VAR PATH

Get the configuration value for variable VAR, or for variable PATH_VAR
for path PATH.  If SPEC is given, give values for compilation
environment SPEC.


$ getconf --version
getconf (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.23-0ubuntu9) 2.23


Expected:
Also the addition of

       getconf --help Show this help
       getconf --version Show version number
