Right now, when we type a wrong command like p4c --wrong-option, the program shows a huge help message with all options. We want to make it show just a short error message that tells you to use --help.

changes needed that I have done:
Added a new function shortUser that shows a short error message (instead of the long help previous message error).
I Replaced all locations where usage() is called on errors with this new shortUser() message.
Fixes #5176

I tried to run cmake to build the updated compiler, for its building since day before yesterday,
same thing happened with tofino ,
I have tried implementing many other commands but my problem doesn't get resolve,
Is it because I'm running ubuntu on virtual on macOS silicon?

There should have already been printed an error message like "Unknown option --x" or "Option --x is missing a required argument", so this line of output seems redundant.

To start with you could post your error output to see what's wrong. Try to get everything working locally first.

You'll also need to update test error outputs, which can be done automatically by adding P4TEST_REPLACE=1 to your check-err command (for example P4TEST_REPLACE=1 ninja check-err)
