I've updated the error message to also print usage information and a hint about using `--help`. Now, when an incorrect option is used, the following is printed:


$ jextract -f
WARNING: Using incubator modules: jdk.incubator.foreign, jdk.incubator.jextract
OPTION ERROR: f is not a recognized option
Usage: jextract <options> [--] <header file>
Use --help for a list of possible options
