short and long help info are implemented (from version 2.6.2) via the existing -h and --help functions respectively. Following the option list, the help (both -h and --help) info shows the usage with mandatory options. Summary:

pk<command> -h: basic options
pk<command> --help: advanced options

<last line of help info>:
usage: pk<command> mandatory options

Would be useful to have two help options for each command line tool, i.e. --help and --long-help (or --long-usage).

--help should print the minimum number of command line arguments required to run the program

--long-help should ideally print the full list of all command line arguments associated with the toolkit.

Currently in pksvm -h and --help print the same information.
