A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Please add '-help', '-?' options to your native2ascii tool.
They should output some usage help.

JUSTIFICATION :

With -help option specified native2ascii should list its usage help as 'java' does.
ACTUAL -
[user@localhost bin]$ ./native2ascii -help
java.lang.Exception: -help could not be read.
[user@localhost bin]$ ./native2ascii -?
java.lang.Exception: -? could not be read.
