    Improve Client CLI help readability (#2073) · 70350347
    Davide Galassi authored
    Currently the CLI `-h/--help` commad output is almost unreadable as (for
    some commands) it:
    - doesn't provide a short brief of what the command does.
    - doesn't separate the options description in smaller paragraphs.
    - doesn't use a smart wrap strategy for lines longer than the number of
    columns in the terminal.
