Minor - P4 We should add explanations of the command line options to the wt utility so that they are self-documenting.
eg:
$ ./wt -h WT_TEST/test_hs06.test_hs06.test_hs_instantiated_modify\(column\).0/ write usage: wt [-LRrSVv] [-C config] [-E secretkey] [-h home] write [-ao] uri key ...
We should be able to tell from the usage of the wt utility itself what these options -a and -o mean.
For instance, wt verify usage can be expanded to:
usage: wt [-LRrSVv] [-C config] [-E secretkey] [-h home] verify [-d dump_address | dump_blocks | dump_history | dump_layout | dump_offsets=#,# | dump_pages] [-s] -a|uri
Verify options:
-a Verify the entire history store, not applicable against a URI
-d Dump more information while verifying the URI
-s Verify the URI against the stable timestamp, valid only after a rollback-to-stable
