there are already options for this :-)

      --show-help               show the output of --help instead of 
generating
                                  code
      --show-full-help          show the output of --full-help (i.e., 
including
                                  hidden options) instead of generating 
code
      --show-detailed-help      show the output of --detailed-help (i.e.,
                                  including details and hidden options) 
instead
                                  of generating code
      --show-version            show the output of --version instead of
                                  generating code
