The VERBOSE option in Makefile has been moved, but there still have the
description left in README. For now, we use `-v` options when running
memblock test to print information, so using the new to replace the
obsolete items.

Thanks for catching this!

--help will display the list of command line options by default, but a
help command line option isn't explicitly implemented. I'm planning to add
the help option, so if you want to remove this sentence, I will add it when
I implement the help option.

Hi, Rebecca.

That's ok. I didn't notice the --help has not been implemented. So I can remove the line:
-For the full list of options from command line, see `./main --help`.

But after remove it. There seems a little stranger about how to get the full list of options at the time. How do you think about it?

Maybe you could add "build" before "options" in the line after this:

-For the full list of options, see `make help`.
+For the full list of build options, see `make help`.


Thanks for you advice to makes it looks better.
