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
