[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 08/30] cam: options: Move key string left in usage() for key-value parser

[Laurent Pinchart]

When printing usage information for a key-value parser, the
documentation of the keys and values is printed in the second column of
the usage text:

  -s, --stream key=value[,key=value,...] ...            Set configuration of a camera stream
                                                        height=integer          Height in pixels
                                                        pixelformat=string      Pixel format name
                                                        role=string             Role for the stream (viewfinder, video, still, raw)
                                                        width=integer           Width in pixels
  -h, --help                                            Display this help message

This results in long lines. Improve this by moving the key description
to the first column, and aligning the value description as other option
description text:

  -s, --stream key=value[,key=value,...] ...            Set configuration of a camera stream
          height=integer                                Height in pixels
          pixelformat=string                            Pixel format name
          role=string                                   Role for the stream (viewfinder, video, still, raw)
          width=integer                                 Width in pixels
  -h, --help                                            Display this help message
