-C <path>, --directory=<path>
Change to directory path before doing anything else.

Well, given that you have "cd" command, not sure that above is necessarry, HOWEVER what is missing is "cd before executing final binary"

Quote:

--cache=<path>
Path to cache directory (default ./.cache/u++ if it exists or ~/.cache/u++ otherwise).

--config=<path>
Path to configuration files (default ./.config/u++/ if it exists or ~/.config/u++/ otherwise).

Yes, I want to add those as well.

Anyway, I agree about functions to be added, however as you might have noticed, many current users depend on current umk commandline definition, so we cannot break backward compatibility just to have it nicer...

That does not mean we cannot add --xxx commands. But I guess it has less priority than adding functionality.
