    man command is something I used to use often. I just find it to be a poor design decision, but a clever one, that "-af" is "-a -f". It's short sighted to assume all parameters would be single character.

    http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch10s05.html has a pretty good discussion. Seems like "dash followed by single character" isn't universal, the old X toolkit didn't use that convention.
