Subject: [PATCH v2] memblock test: Modify the obsolete description in README

From: Shaoqin Huang <[email protected]>

The VERBOSE option in Makefile has been moved, but there still have the
description left in README. For now, we use `-v` options when running
memblock test to print information, so using the new to replace the
obsolete items.

--help will display the list of command line options by default, but a
help command line option isn't explicitly implemented. I'm planning to add
the help option, so if you want to remove this sentence, I will add it when
I implement the help option.

Maybe you could add "build" before "options" in the line after this:

-For the full list of options, see `make help`.
+For the full list of build options, see `make help`.

Hi, Rebecca.

That's ok. I didn't notice the --help has not been implemented. So I can
remove the line:
-For the full list of options from command line, see `./main --help`.

But after remove it. There seems a little stranger about how to get the
full list of options at the time. How do you think about it?

I '--help' option is implemented, it just does not list help for itself.
I think it's fine to keep the "For the full list..." line.

Ok, if no other problem. I will resend this patch with a minimal tweak:
-For the full list of options, see `make help`.
+For the full list of build options, see `make help`.
