Sometimes, for backwards compatibility or tradition or just plain convenience, it works better to define one option as a pure alias for another option. For such situations, provide the following pieces of information:
flag = {
name = aliasing-option-name;
value = aliasing-flag-char; // optional !
aliases = aliased-to-option;
};
Do not provide anything else. The usage text for such an option will be:
This is an alias for aliased-to-option
