/*
Improve the `--help` output of turbostat by standardizing the format and enhancing readability. The following changes are made to ensure consistency and clarity in the help message: 1. Use a consistent pattern for each parameter's help message: - Display the parameter and its input (if any) on the same line, separated by a space. - Provide the detailed description on a separate line. 2. Ensure that the first character of each description is in lower-case. These changes make the help output more uniform and easier to read, helping users quickly understand the available options and their usage. No functional change.
