how to chek for the number of options in an app

[Sina Bahram]

Hmm, this isn't terribly accurate, but try this

ls --help | wc -l

Take care,
Sina

Subject: how to chek for the number of options in an app

Hi all,
Is there a way to check, without counting by hand within the manual, how
many options are there for a command such as ls, more, bash, etc?
If not, what's the shortest way of doing that through the man?

Many thanks in advance!
Ned
