Sorry, I completly bleeped over the paragraph where you mentioned you had examined the setshow functions :-("Andrew" == Andrew Cagney <ac131313@cygnus.com> writes:The idea here is to factor out the first sentence into separate `show' and `set' sentences, and then keep the rest of the help text the same.Andrew> Look at add_setshow_boolean_cmd().

Hmm, that is a human factors question, see below.I looked at this. In this case it looks like `help show foo' will show a short doc string, while `help set foo' will show more text. Is this ok for all set/show commands? If so, then I agree that emulating this interface is fine.
