Description 陈孟达 2022-12-27 23:04:18 AEDT 
The "--help" option of scp misses the option "d" and "f" and "t". 

1） For the option "d", the following code appears during option parsing and modifies the targetshouldbedirectory in scp.c:567 for version 9.1p1.

			targetshouldbedirectory = 1;
			break;

2) For the option "f", the following code appears during option parsing and modifies the iamremote, fflag in scp.c:570-571 for version 9.1p1.

			iamremote = 1;
			fflag = 1;
			break;

3) For the option "t", the following code appears during option parsing and modifies the iamremote, tflag in scp.c:574-575 for version 9.1p1.

			iamremote = 1;
			tflag = 1;
#ifdef HAVE_CYGWIN
			setmode(0, O_BINARY);
#endif
			break;

But they do not appear in the document provided by "--help".

Although they are both accessibility options, it may prevent users from using the relevant function.

These options are only used internally by scp and are not intended for humans to use directly.

OpenSSH 9.3 has been released. Close resolved bugs
