   Yup you're absolutely right. Here's my latest. Getting close...   
      
   Usage: tinybase [ -q queries... | -t | -r | -m ] [ files... ]   
      
   Synopsis: Tag based search tool   
      
   Options:   
      
     -q  query mode: find blocks with matching tags or wildcards   
         example: tinybase -q 'query1, query2' files   
      
     -t  tag index mode: list all unique tags across given files   
         example: tinybase -t files   
      
     -r  repl mode: interactive shell for tag queries   
         example: tinybase -r files   
      
     -m  manual mode: show built-in documentation
