--help

The presence of this flag anywhere in the command line shows the quick help in the same way as if we don't specify a file or directory to search.

$ reveal --help   
usage: reveal [<flags>] [<path>...]

A command-line application to find potential PAN numbers in files and directories.

  -v, --verbose           Add verbosity to the output
  -l, --pan-length=0      BIN length to consider (must be 16 or 19, or 0 for both)
  -b, --bin-length=6      Minimum BIN length to consider (0 to 8) - Default: 6
  -d, --delimited         Only consider PANs that are delimited by non numeric characters
  -p, --print             Print the lines containing possible PANs
  -P, --print-extended    Print the lines containing possible PANs with context (like -p -c)

  -S, --summary-extended  Show a summary of findings on each file with more information
  -t, --totals            Only display summary totals when processing sevaral files
  -c, --condensed         Print results in a condensed format (like a table) This is the default output format
      --paranoid          Consider all possible card numbers (ignoring BIN lists, just check Luhn)
      --distance=50       Confidence distance, is the max distance between keywords and the PAN (default: 50)
      --parallel          Perform search in parallel (optimized search with several files)
  -i, --interactive       Process results interactively in a TUI
      --nowhitelist       Do not use a whitelist file even if it exists
  -x, --export            Exports the results as an Excel file

  -E, --ignore            Exclude Excel files in the search when using the --massive option
  -w, --write             Write findings to a file
  -m, --massive           Perform a MASSIVE search, for huge volumes of files
      --limit=LIMIT       Limit the number of parallel processes. Default is the number of processors. It can be even a greater value
      --xmax=XMAX         Max size for Excel files to process in Mb (default 10)

Args:
  [<path>]  Files or directories to process.

If this flag is present overrides the rest of the parameters and flags, so it is useful if we want to add a flag we don't remember how to use it, so just adding this flag gives us some help and we can easily remove it by repeating the previous command line.
