>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2766
>             Project: Mesos
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: stout
>            Reporter: Marco Massenzio

> In every "launcher" file (ie, those containing some variation on {{main()}}) there is a minor variation on:
> {code}
>   if (flags.help) {
>     cout << flags.usage() << endl;
>     // arguably this is not an error: the user asked for help,
>     // and she got it: // the program execution ought to be
>     // considered successful.
>     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
>   }
> {code}
> As this is default behavior, and we've added support for the {{--help}} flag in the {{BaseFlags}} class, we should add this too there and remove it from everywhere else.
> This follows the DRY principle.
