Unless there's a better place on the web to learn about start-up flags, i think it would be a good idea to provide more details on the community website. I always find it frustrating when i have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use a command line program just because i don't know the syntax of the arguments.
on unix systems, about each and every cmdline tool has a manpage.
$ man pd
most programs i know, also accept a "-h" or "--help" argument, that gives you another help. Pd is a bit exclusive here, as it uses the "-help" syntax (but then Pd is clever enough to give you the full help whenever it encounters an argument it doesn't know about; so "pd -h" and "pd --help" work fine as well).
$ pd -help
in the case of Pd, the manpage is a little neglected, but at least it directs you to "pd -help".
