[PATCH iproute2-next 3/7] misc: put help to stdout and usage to stderr

Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.netdev
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Similar change to other iproute2 commands.
Syntax error should print to stderr and exit with non-zero.
Help command should print to stdout and exit with zero status.
