Apparently the docs regarding Signotaur params are not up to date. It seems “COMMAND” is missing:

> **[Signotaur -](https://docs.finalbuilder.com/sn/1.0/client/client.html)**
>
> Signotaur - Client

## WRONG

```auto
SignotaurTool.exe [options] <files>

```

## CORRECT

```auto
SignotaurTool.exe SIGN [options] <files>

```

The integrated help is wrong as well, it lists the COMMAND as last param, but apparently the command needs to be the very first param:

Hi Olaf

The docs are wrong - we will fix that today (new build coming with more client commands)

The usage is correct - in the above case the options are general options (the only one being --help).

If you specify a command

`SignotaurTool sign --help` then you get

```auto
USAGE:
    SignotaurTool.exe sign [files] [OPTIONS]

ARGUMENTS:
    [files] List of file paths to sign. These can contain wildcards

OPTIONS:
                                              DEFAULT
    -h, --help Prints help information
        --nb Hide banner
...

```

I just looked again (sorry, I couldn’t do it earlier)  
Like you said, usage is correct **but only for**  
`SignotaurTool sign --help`

The problem is with:  
`Signotaur`  
or  
`Signotaur --help`

both list `[OPTIONS] <COMMAND>` in reverse order, which took me a while to figure out, when I got started. See screenshots.

Unfortunately that is how the CLI library we use works.

The OPTIONS in this case are global options - the only on being -h

It is a bit annoying - I will see if there is anything we can do about it.
