this item should not be OS dependent.

steps to reproduce:

1. launch npbackup-gui or npbackup-cli with --help
2. watch output. it is missing some existing options.

example npbacku-gui:

usage: npbackup-gui [-h] [-c CONFIG_FILE] [--repo-name REPO_NAME] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [--external-backend-binary EXTERNAL_BACKEND_BINARY] [-V]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
                        Path to alternative configuration file (defaults to current dir/npbackup.conf)
  --repo-name REPO_NAME
                        Name of the repository to work with. Defaults to 'default'
  --log-file LOG_FILE   Optional path for logfile
  --external-backend-binary EXTERNAL_BACKEND_BINARY
                        Full path to alternative external backend binary
  -V, --version         Show program version

refer to this discussion for options that you suggested and exist:
#123 (reply in thread)

npbackup-gui -c /my/configfile.conf --run-as-cli --raw "cache --cleanup"

not sure if there are any more features that need to be captured for npbackup-gui, npbackup-cli or npbackup-viewer.

Ok, now I understand, thank you ;)
--run-as-cli is the only argument captured before the argument parser library gets to run. Since the latter creates the help, I cannot add help for that parameter.

So I added a string that explains the --run-as-cli argument for the GUI, which when run together with --help will show all the arguments available in that mode.
