[PATCH v5 03/18] scripts/jobserver-exec: add a help message

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-09-12 11:46:34
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Currently, calling it without an argument shows an ugly error
message. Instead, print a message using pythondoc as description.
