[Bug 1782273] [NEW] Does not run with -makeresultsfile option

[Lithi]

Public bug reported:

The -makeresultsfile does not work:

$ rdfind -n -makeresultsfile dir1 dir2
expected true or false, not "-makeresultsfile"

$ rdfind -n -makeresultsfile true dir1 dir2
expected true or false, not "-makeresultsfile"

$ rdfind -n "-makeresultsfile true" dir1 dir2
expected true or false, not "-makeresultsfile true"


This is unacceptable.  Unix command-line programs typically take options denoted by -<option> or -<option> <option flag>  however for the rdfind command the makeresultsfile option clearly does not work.  If for some odd reason this is actually the intended behavior of then it should be indicated in the man page!
