87  <p>The text printed is the same whether selected with the <code>help</code> option
88(<samp><span class="option">--help</span></samp>) or the <code>more-help</code> option (<samp><span class="option">--more-help</span></samp>).  <code>more-help</code> will print
89the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
90<code>more-help</code> is disabled on platforms without a working
91<code>fork(2)</code> function.  The <code>PAGER</code> environment variable is
92used to select the program, defaulting to <samp><span class="file">more</span></samp>.  Both will exit
93with a status code of 0.
