5329,"Example program first.cpp returns code 1 in case when program called with ""--help"" option",Vladimir Rutsky <altsysrq@…>,Vladimir Prus,"Hello,

first.cpp example at trunk/libs/program_options/example/first.cpp contains following code at line 30 (r70076):
{{{
        if (vm.count(""help"")) {
            cout << desc << ""\n"";
            return 1;
        }
}}}

That means that program will return non-zero code when called as ""./program --help"", which usually mean incorrect program termination.

I think outputting help message is a correct program behavior and there should be returned zero code: ""return 0"".
